Title: recording Rush indoors tips?
Post by: jmz93 on September 04, 2007, 05:37:15 PM

I plan to tape Rush, Sept. 22 at the Air Canada Center in Toronto. 

I haven't seen them since the Presto tour in 1990, but I remember them being at the louder end of rock shows. I'm worried about overloading my equipment which will be:
Hat-mounted SP-CMC-4's (AT853) Cardeoids, Church Audio ST9100 pre with sensitivity mod, Edirol R-09.  I'll be going line in, gain set to 8/30.  Can the CA ST9100 handle being turned up all the way at this high an SPL?
Any other tips from people who havetaped them this tour greatly appreciated!
Yep I know about the huge bang during "Far Cry". :)

I'd use caution if going +20 db on the 9100.  Might overload at the pre-amp given how loud Rush is.  Unity is 11:00 O'clock on it.  I'd start there.

Rush at Red Rocks wasn't very loud compared to what I've heard from other bands. Normal volume.

I'd remove the venue and date from your post.
