i taped a great local bluegrass band 2 weeks ago,a nd im headed out to tape them again tomorrow night
fully unplugged. they kind of rotate on stage too 2 mics, one for vocals and one for thier instruments at slightly different heights. except the bass is miked by itself thru the p.a. its a really wierd setup. but the on stage i did sounds most excellent, except it was lacking in bass.
the bass player was the only one that didnt rotate and is all the way on the right of the other 3
i ran on-stage last time in a modified(slightly narrower) DIN cards. and everything sounds great except the bass is almost not there as the up close banjo/mandolin/acoustic guitar overpower it
does anyone think that MS on stage would yield better results? being that the "side" mic will have one side of the cap facing directly at the bass???
i really wanna run on-stage as most of the poeple at the bat wont be there to see these guys,a dn at the last gig (different place) there wee some extremely drunk crowd playing quarters and screaming all night. if i had moved back and taped from the p.a. it would ahve been a disaster i think
any help would be much appreciated
