Topic: Help .. Taping in a Gymnasium

[Church-Audio]

Put the disc between the mics, just like oss, not behind them.
The nearly 180º rearward off-axis response (reverb from the rear wall) will be very much negated, because, well, its coming from completely behind the mics.

Good point I was thinking omni not cardioid Moke you are correct

ok, so i think ive got the following.

AT4040s spaced at 6.5 inches with a 12-inch jecklin disk between them. Mics facing forward or slightly toed out.

B2-Pro omnis spaced outside the ATs (probably around 12-inches or so) facing at 90-degrees from source. I imagine the jecklin disk will also act as a baflle for the omnis in this case.


edit: now i just have to make a jecklin disk

yea, it's patrick gymnasium. and the band has been mixing stereo lately.

<sigh>

I appreciate the replies, guys.

M/S stack tape

and if the PA is stereo in a Gymn the sound will be total ass, IMHO

You're a professional?

Are you making any decent cash doing this or just having fun?

[Gedit]

it's part-time, and yes i make money on live multi-tracks.


i did the baffled cards as moke suggested. just about to listen to it now as a matter of fact 

[Gedit]

here's what i ran ..

FOH @ 13 feet

B2-Pro baffled (using a home-made jecklin disk - what a sight that was, but it worked) @ 6.5 inches facing forward
AKG D8000S hypers at 12-inches facing forward (the jecklin separated these to some extent as well)

In mixdown I used 25% B2-Pro and 75% AKG hypers. I boosted everything above 16Khz by 3 db for some air.

Doesn't sound bad at all. You still know it was in a gym, but it's a helluva lot better than the '02 show in the same place.
