TIA!

omnis unless you have a huge and close crowd right behind you that will get captured by the omni's since they have the rear lobe the cards do not

what do you mean by "huge and close"? they usually sell about 6,000-7,000 tickets for shows at this venue, if that helps.
-
If the reserved is 20 rows and the crowd will be rowdy, I would go with cards. If reserved is 40 rows and the crowd will also be reserved, go with omnis.
-
If you can run it high & split, omni's. >:D If it's a rowdy crowd cards.
-
about 40 rows reserved. i don't think the crowd will be too rowdy from recordings i've heard from earlier on the tour. a little hooting and hollering, but not too bad.
-
Can you be sure they will let you run high? I was shot down at one of those outdoor amphitheater things because seating was sloped and people behind me were bitching. I usually run cards or hypers for everything because I am stubborn and poorly informed.

stealthing the show, so the only way i can run high is if i grow a couple more feet.
-
Definately cards.

I say run both on two different recorders and figure out what you like. :-D
I would think omnis too, fwiw

used the omnis. came out nice, with the exception of the dropouts noted in the computer recording help forum. surprisingly enough, for oklahoma, there was no wind.

Great time of year here in joklahoma; not too often there are a couple of weeks with wind not blowing more than 10mph. Where (which venue) was this recording made?
-
I've been wondering about this same issue. I'll be recording indoors at an acoustically sweet theater from the 7th row soon. I'd like to try my new omnis, but I worry about crowd noise. If I have quiet friends on either side of me (stealthing here) blocking will I be pretty safe avoiding crowd noise using the omnis?

Omnis will pick up the people behind you. Cards may be a better choice. YMMV.
