Hey all!
Well... Saturday will be my first big outdoor venue taping experience. Since I've been taping, I've been doing either matrix recordings, or smaller clubs. I hate to admit it but I am seriously lacking in this kind of experience. The show is The Dead at Alpine. The section I assume will be near the sbd which is about 1/2 way up a grassy hill behind the reserved seating. I haven't been to alpine since the dead family reunion a few years ago, so I'm guessing it is about 500 ft back from the PA.
I'm running 391's (cards) with ua5, from a 13' stand. I would like to hear any suggestions for mic placement. I typically use ortf indoors, but I seem to recall somebody suggesting din for outdoors. If anything will help me achieve a slightly "more upfront" sound that would appeal to me (I assume that's not really possible), and I'm also somewhat of an image freak. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanx
Matt
