Taping the Wakarusa festival this weekend and I've never really taped outside before or at large concerts. My setup is akg 391's>AD-20>JB3. And I've got a 13 ft stand and the big Shure windscreens. Thanks in advance.
sounds like your all set. Go, set up the 391's DIN, then levels and enjoy. If the stage seems to have a heavy low end, i'd run XY, but DIN is probably the best mic config for the 391's. I only run XY when i think its gonna be bass heavy. good luck, make some good tapes, take good pics, and get real shitty.

Some practical info; take an umbrella, duct tape, lots of garbage bags, and a small towel incase of rain!!! Also, dont keep the JB3 in sunlight, or let it get to hot, mine froze durring Los Lobos @ Bonnaroo. I covered the bag with an umbrella and had no problems the rest of the day! Lemmie know if you need anymore help.
Ah the small towel, that was the only thing I hadn't thought of, all the other stuff I got. Thanks!
Ya, despite your best efforts, somthing may get a little wet, and I found myself without a little towel @ the dead the other night and no way to wipe of the little bit of water on the JB3. Luckally a fellow taper had one!

your t-shirt!
Not if you are standing in the rain!
Got a question on outdoor taping - I'm planning to stealth record a gig using SPCMC2 (AT831) mics.
These are pretty sensitive to wind noise - any suggestions (apart from use the foam covers, which I will do).
I normally clip them to my collar.
nothing beats taping outside in the open air! You're going to love it, have fun...
