Title: Looking to tape a gig for the first time
Post by: LZJoker on March 18, 2006, 09:03:56 AM

Hi guys,

Been lurking on the site for a few months now in preparation for my first stealth outing :laugh:

I'm going to be taping a rock concert in the next couple of months in a stadium (indoor basketball affair), i have the following at my disposal:

Edirol R-1
JB3

Binaurals (Church Audio) > Church Preamp>?

Just wondering which you guys would pick for the outing, i'm leaning towards the edirol, but then again i may take both and use one as a backup.

I've been reading up on various things and have learnt quite a bit, just really wanted some of the more experienced guys to give an opinion, i.e am i missing anything obvious regarding my setup.

Thanks for reading

You should be ok with just the R-1, unless there's some reason you haven't told us that a back-up might be useful.

my r-1 is extremely dependable.  Just make sure you don't mistake the hold switch for the power switch and accidently turn it off before it saves the file.....  :-[

I don't mean to speak for him, but look at the Jecklin disc thread(s) in the mic section....

There aren't a lot of good configs for omnis that give good stereo seperation....

if you are going to stealth and are a complete newbie, better practise first in home and bring only one deck to the show
