So I'm taping Crooked Fingers tomorrow night in Denver. The place is not really set up that well.
[see picture I drew below for a better idea how this place is set up]
There is a bar in the front of the place and the stage is stuck in the back room.
The speakers don't really point in a direction where I could set up inbetween them (because the place is so small). If I were to do that I would seriously run the risk of getting bumped into, steped on, etc. Seriously there is 20 feet between the speakers and a wall, and then theres the hallway to the bar/bathrooms. Also the SBD is way to the right side of the stage (pretty much in that hallway).
I will be recording the SBD also, so I'll have a backup but I want to mix both sources together.
If anyone's taped there before what did you do?
Thanks,
I was thinking of running on stage, but I really have no idea if that's an option. What does it take to make a good on stage recording? The only speakers in the whole place are the 2 PA's on top of the stage and the monitors for the band. Well that and the bands amps.MIKE B
I drew a picture
The PA with the /PA/ points that direction. The other points straight down the hallway (over the SBD). The M's are for the monitors and the direction they were set up the last time Crooked Fingers played there.
