I've never taped at a festival before, but I know there are plenty of folks here who have.
In June I'm going to be hitting the blue plum street festival in johnson city, tenn and then bonnaroo, and I'm wondering what items were particularly useful or indeed necessary at festivals.
Unless I pick up anything new, i'll be running sp c4s>ua-5>jb3 - a very simple, easy rig to manipulate in the field. As far as outside recording goes, I've got heavy duty DPA windscreens but that's about it...
i still need to get an umbrella in case of bad weather, as well as some heavy duty trash bags or whatnot in order to protect my gear. I also need to figure out a way to recharge my batteries...
any recommendations for festival prep?
thanks,
charlie
