Hi, I'm going to attend a music festival in Italy in early November. Two of my favourite bands will be performing at one of the main squares in the historical city centre. I've recorded them openly several times before (and it also comes in handy that one band member is the long standing FOH of the other band).
The thing is that, this time, the setting is a covered market. Therefore, rain or humidity shouldn't really be an issue and the impact of wind on the recording might be limited to cross-winds. [I'm going to bring my Rycote BBG's and the belonging windscreens with me anyway.] However, I'm wondering what mics and configurations would be suited best for such a setting (as there might be sound reflections from the big glass and steel roof in addition to the typical limitations of an open air festival). The music styles will be a blend of krautrock/psychedelica and electronic jazz repectively shoegaze/post-rock. So, it's going to be medium-loud to very loud.
I've got hypercardioids (MBHO KA500HN), cardioids (AT853), subcards (LineAudio CM3, MBHO KA300NB) and near-field omnis (LineAudio OM1). Running two sets of mics would also be an option. However, if possible, I'd prefer to limit the amount of gear that I'll to have to carry about with me on the train.
Any suggestions (or anecdotal evidence with similar venues) appreciated.
