Topic: Girl Tapers?

[rokpunk]

i'm a girl taper. i tape girls...granted, its from a hidden camera in my closet. </perv mode off>

I have the sound professionals SP-BMC-1, and I used MD for about 4 years before getting my M1. I honestly haven't upgraded mics because these still kick ass for me and are easy to stealth with. I have the SPSB-2 battery box.

Cleokatrah,  I know people will dump on me for saying this, but I bought 2 tiny clip on mics from Radio Shack, the little tie/lapel mics.  they are omnis and sound decent.  i have a mule and a Doc watson show with them.  no pre amp just them running into a D8  If you would like copies, PM me.  I can also email you some pix of how i rigged them up (clipped on my glasses).  
Granted thes are not high end mics, but my banged up hearing likes the shows they made and they are reasonable.  I want to sneak them into a symphony.
Good luck.

Yeah the response chart is basically a straight line.  I got mine for around $55 a pair.  they nead a mono mini, mono mini, to stereo mini splitter (about$3) to run them in to a deck at least thats what I used.

didn't S run tape a few times?

hey that's right! forgot about that. So my wife is actually officially a taper as of last year! While I was at the Iron Maiden show, her cousin's band, dearest crown from Portland, played locally and she ran my spare D8. Her cousin helped her out getting a patch but she started the deck and set levels accordingly. She was so proud of herself that it was just hilarious. I don't think I'll ever be able to talk her into 'wearing' my whole rig though....

julie g ROCKS,

I suddenly remembered that I met her at the first show I ever taped with my DA P1....like seven years ago at moe./Big Wu. She was uber cool. Loaned me a digi cable and turned me onto the Porta Brace. Just totally down to earth and very forgiving.

*raises hand* Hi, I'm a girl, I tape...I'm from the L.A. area as well. Been doing this since late Nov. ( well, with hits and misses here and there, lol )  

I'd also like to add Waz to the indie rock list as well ( solo act, he used to play guitar for Pete Yorn ) I have taped him a bunch of times, and hope to have the recordings out eventually...

Wow, this thread brought the girl tapers out of the wood work, nice, good to see. Only met one once, MD patcher at a few creek shows, always good to see the ladies in the section.

I have some questions for you Girl Tapers.

What does your boy friend/sig other think of your taping? Does the SO go to the shows with you and hang with you in the section?  Does the SO get pissed off and feel neglected when you go into the section and talk taper gibberish to the other tapers (who I assume as mostly other fellas)?  Does your SO tour with you when you tour to tape?  Has the SO had just about enough of the piles of masters and trades laying around all over the place?

I'm just wondering....
