A friend is playing a club on Saturday night. He is a singer/song-writer/guitarist. The room he is playing is usually very quiet and I don't expect a big crowd. I can plug into the soundboard or I can run microphones. I've read that close-miking is a great technique for acoustic music.
Should I use the soundboard patch or the mics?
Where do I place the mics for close-miking?
Do I need one mic for the guitar and another for the vocal?
If I put the mics on stage, won't I be recording the stage monitors?
Thanks!
