Hey everyone, been m.i.a. for awhile but getting back into things again.
I've been approached with a pretty cool opportunity to tape a show for a small live release cd, problem is it's going to be on top of a mountain in the evening, so winds will pick up around 3-4pm, show starts at 7pm and on into the night... being run off generators and all sorts of other stupid noise issues. I am mainly focusing on setup and wind here, I can bitch to them about where to put generators later.
The plan is to use my Beyer MC930 SS ORTF on my T-bar somewhere back from the stage a little and an AT4033a either on the same stand or on stage somewhere, never messed with an on stage setup, but is this a good mic to use or not? Mainly concerned with the wind and what it'll pickup. I love my MC930 SSs so not worried about how they'll perform, have some dead rats on the way to cover those puppies. I'll have to get coverage for the AT4033 if I decide to use it. Or move the MC930s to the stage lip as well?
Then I was going to run everything through my Motu Traveler and also run to it a sbd line-out. or if they can, lineout each input to my board independently.
Winds get up to about 13-15 mph when it gets going around 5-7pm
Kind of just curious if anyone has any advice, tips for reducing wind, mic placement etc. It's literally open space, crest of a mountain. no big rocks behind them to echo or anything.
A few years back I taped the Gorge in Washington state and had great luck using a borrowed Baby Ball Gag and just the foam on a MC930. Never used the AT4033 outside, hardly ever seen anyone tape a show with it either.
Thanks in advance.
