So basically with omnis you either need good seperation OR a baffle right?  No need for a nerf/jelkin if you have a nice spread(see Britney post in Open Forum).

That's my understanding.  Personally, I'd find it easier to rig up a nerf ball than carry 2 stands (or use someone else's), find a spot for both stands, and set up both stands.  That reminds me...gotta build a Jecklin disc for outdoor summer shows!

yep, you've got it...

Nothing wrong with your stand, but to get them any distance apart I would have to have one on another stand.  Think I'm just gonna build a bar myself though with some alligator clips on the ends or something then clamp that to your stand....are we actually in the section?

We're a couple rows FOB.

Well here is my idea.  Gonna hit Lowe's this weekend.  Grab a piece of 1/4-1/2" metal rod.  Throw an adapter in the middle somehow to mount to the stand.  Got an older soldering helper that has alligator clips that will swivel in all directions and mount those to each end...voila!  3' seperation...maybe make it come apart in the middle for ease of carrying around.

I thought Dead was only allowing taping from lawn section?
Could be wrong though, maybe they will have a tapersection setup at Gorge.

very very similar results, but the j-disc really cuts the mud and boom out of omni recordings due to its better isolation.

So much so that I think more people would run omnis indoors if they heard the results!!

I know this is how I should be running at the Fox... omni's sound great down there but I really shouldn't be pushing my luck by running split's.

That would suck at the Gorge.

FOB with the dead requires a bit of discreteness. Wait until tour starts and some reports come back from the field. Their mood changes with every tour

Where is the section at?  Tapers tickets?

Chris - are you going too?

do they make any hardware that you can use to run 3' or so that doesn't require making it yourself?

[phishn]

if you ran a 3 mic mix, 2 omni's split at a large distance and a card in the middle, would the theoretical cone effect dissipate?
