Essentials list for festival taping.....
« on: June 17, 2004, 12:24:57 PM »
Alright guys I looked through the archives and did not see a complete list of what people should bring to festivals for taping (other than their rig). I'm wondering if some of you with lots of experience would mind making a list for me and as well as other newbies in the future. Sorry if this has already been posted. I'm looking to go as light as possible but I want to make sure I'm set for anything that may happen.
                                                     Thanks

In addition to my regular recording gear of:

Mountainsmith Blaze
mic caps
shockmount
ORTF/DIN/NOS bars
active cables
mic bodies
interconnects
V3
AES/EBU cable (soon replaced by Grace optical mod)
Hosa ODL-312 (soon replaced by Grace optical mod)
RC 9.6v batt for Hosa (soon replaced by Grace optical mod)
optical cable
clamps x 3
18" gooseneck
small flashlight
Etymotic ER6s
notepad
Sharpie
coax RCA cable
duct tape
various spare cables
  • V3 power cable
  • interconnect backups
  • optical backup
I'll carry to festivals this summer:

2 more SLAs for the V3
an SLA for the NJB3 + cable/VR
charger(s) for the SLAs
power strip
tent stakes
garbage bags
poncho (for me)
rain hat (for me)
umbrella x 2 (1 for mics, 1 for gear as sun/rain protection)
towel
large blanket/tarp to stake out my space
sunscreen

And this year I'll probably also take my AES/EBU XLR > RCA cable to use with my D100 + batts + some extra DATs in case I have trouble with my NJB3 in the sun/heat (though I doubt I will).

I always take a bag with wheels.  Never know how far you will have to walk and all those extra SLAs will kill your back.


Also sunglasses and some type of munchie would be good, along with one of those little fishing chairs....you know the ones with three legs that fold up really small.  If it might be muddy take a small tarp or a blanket.

1. Buy a regular umbrella.
2. Cut off the knobby/handle end
3. use electrical tape to fasten it to your stand

better yet, use gaffer's taper so that you don't get the sticky residue from electrical tape.
