taping a spoken word performance, recommendations..
« on: November 09, 2006, 04:19:19 PM »
TS-
Im thinking of running about 6-8 feet high in the back of the room (at the back edge of the audience) and using my hypers and pointing them at the stacks. any other advice?

Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

If you can get the direct feed, take it.  There ought to be more than enough crowd bleeding through the vocal mic for sufficient crowd response, and AUD pulls of spoken word really suffer from chatter because it's all the same frequencies.  Anyone chattering around your mics, particularly if you're in the back of the room, will smother any clarity in your recording with mics in the open.

Get as close as you can, or close mic the stack directly. I wouldn't tape from the back though...
