Recording a show tomorrow in a nasty sounding room with a loud but cheap PA and a crappy board.
Band's engineer vetoed the idea of onstage as there will likely be people jumping around near and on it. I've got a feed but it won't have guitars. Band config is drums, keys, guitar, bass, vox I believe.
In the past, Dan and I have both done the best we could and clamped to a large post right near the right stack, aiming our mics toward the stage. This is probably what I'll do.
For options, I am considering either the 4021s X/Y or A/B, or the wider-patterned MK22s either A/B or some other config. I was also considering using my articulated arm off the post to at least move the mics a bit more toward center.
Is there any benefit to the X/Y or would it be better to just go A/B and be done with it? And practically, would the wide cards be much help?
Could also do hypers, but I really don't like the idea of hypers up close.
