what does Location: OTS / ROC / Mics up 8 feet, ORTF mean?
« on: June 23, 2009, 10:48:16 PM »
I just download alpine phish from Mike, and tyvm Mike, you are a saint!

Interested in recording, and also interested in these files i've just downloaded,

can anyone elaborate on what

Location:
OTS / ROC / Mics up 8 feet, ORTF

means?

Where was he? How many mics? Does he sneak these in? How does he hold/stabilize this/these mics/tools? Is this a one-man job?  Any other cool info on this recording would be awesome. Thanks!

OTS / ROC / Mics up 8 feet, ORTF

I would read it...

(OTS) Official Tapers Section [At alpine this was the back of the pavillion just to the right of the soundboard area]/ (ROC) Right of Center/ Microphones 8 feet above ground level in an ORTF pattern  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORTF_stereo_technique.


Phish as with most of the bands are an open taping band, they encourage their fans to record and freely share the shows, so there is no need to sneak equipment in.  Typically a taper has a aluminum light stand that is used to stabilize the mics

Jake: You traded the Blues Mobile for this?
Elwood: No. For a microphone.
Jake: A microphone? Okay I can see that.

Official Tapers Section/Right of Center
Mics on a stand @ 8'ft in the air.
ORTF is a stereo microphone configuration.
IE two mics with 17cm separation between the caps
and a 110* angle.

Mics> Preamp> recorder
