Topic: Edirol stadium settings

Got it.  You have the older model.  Your Unity setting is probably around 15 or 20 then.  I stand corrected.  You need a preamp.

No doubt that experience is the way to go, but I am "burning" to tape Springsteen and as he is turning 60 I am afraid that this is my last chance, at least with The E Street Band.

Advice from  someone who has taped MANY Bruce shows, in arenas and stadiums:

What everyone said - get the mics off your body and into a hat. It will help a lot, especially if you're in the GA section on the field. You can also set the hat a little further back on your head if the hanging stacks are above you.

Every stadium is different - sometimes they put repeater speakers half way back, sometimes not. Record in 24 bit, peak at -6 to -9, and be aware the show can get louder as it goes, especially when the crowd goes nuts.

Location, Location, Location. I have lousy seats for one show, buried deep underneath an overhang - the sound from there will probably not be worth taping (not that I won't try).

Good luck, and welcome to the taping community!

Thank you scoper. I must buy a hat :-)
