Tried and true method, especially for GA stadium/arena type shows.
music IS love

When you get confused, listen to the music play!

I think I found this link through another post here in the forum, but I couldn't find it in a quick search, so my feedback comes to this thread instead:

This tool <https://waxy.org/2019/11/fast-and-free-music-separation-with-deezers-machine-learning-library/> purports to offer after-the-fact track splitting (ie., take a master, then split it to separate tracks for vocals and instruments, etc).

Might be something that could be used to pull unwanted info (audience talking, clapping etc) out of a recording (and leave the good stuff behind).

I say something to the effect of "hey, will you do me a favor? we're trying to make the best recording possible and you're clapping so close to the mics really over powers the music. If it comes out nice, I'll make sure you get a copy." They usually will either leave or stay and become a blocker for you. But as someone else said, sometimes they're just drunk fools and any interaction just adds to the noise level  when the loud clapping would have been the better option after all.

Cable management is a valuable taping skill.
These come in super size



Gaffers tape can be useful as well

At an NMAS show in San Diego, Luther played a song where it was solo acoustic. When he started playing, an over enthusiastic fan started clapping out a beat. Really loudly and noticeably, like he was trying to get the crowd to clap along. Instead, every one was really annoyed. While the glares didn't seem to stop him, Luther either sensed the crowd, or he was annoyed himself. Barely missing a note he turned to the clapper, smiled and made the "cut it" sign (ie., slicing your finger across your throat). The clapper stopped, and Luther gave a smile and thumbs up.

Classiest way to tell a fan to shut up!

I've also had a similar experience when seeing Chris Smither years ago.  It was at an intimate little theatre in Berkeley and early in the show this guy started clapping along with the song.  To make matters worse, his timing was awful!  Luckily he was far away from me, but it was still very annoying.  It evidently annoyed Chris as well because mid-song Chris stopped singing to address the clapper.  He said in a polite (but somewhat sarcastic) voice "if you can't count, don't clap".  The crowd let out a collective laugh and the guy shut up for the rest of the show.  :lol:  Thank you Chris!   :cheers:

On the whole clappers really, really suck!  And it can be a chore to get them to shut up.  Politely approaching them to let them know you're recording is always a good 1st line of defense, and it usually works more than 50% of the time.  But if they initially prove to be uncooperative, they will likely be an ongoing problem.  Unfortunately, it's just one of the hazards of this hobby.
