I've searched this topic quite a bit since I've been getting some boomy sounding recordings in a venue that has a lot of great acts the come through, but all my previous recordings have sounded poor due to the "boominess."
In my past three tapings, I've used CA-11 w/cardioid caps in A-B configuration in a hat along with the CA-9100 preamp w/high pass filter set to "off" and an Edirol R-09.
From the posts that I've read, it seems these are the best ways to get a good recording in a boomy venue:
1. Use hypercardioids in XY configuration.
2. Use high pass filter in the 9100 or use bass-roll off in a battery box.
3. Tape close to the stacks (difficult to do in the venue as the speakers are mounted from a rather high ceiling).
Is this the best way to go about getting a non-boomy recording in a boomy venue? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for any input
