Quote from: Church-Audio on May 26, 2011, 09:32:56 PMI have a sbd of a band I was doing sound for and the mix is perfect.. Not all sound guys are shit Generally speaking the lower the stage volume is or the bigger the venue is the better the SBD mix will be small clubs where the mixer is less than 50 feet from the stage will not generally result in a good tape. Why because way to much of the bands stage volume is in the room and not much of it is being put through the PA. Also small PA = Crap SBD if its speakers on a stick just say no to SBD. If its a nice looking room with a good PA and the mixer is more than 50 feet from the stage go for it. But than you are subject to the quality of the mix it self.I never said all sound guys are shit, Chris. Sometimes the best sound guy in the world can't help a room based on board location or size. Without getting into specifics, a board tape that I have from The Mod Club sounds great ... another one (different sound guy) at The Sound Academy is great as well. Meanwhile, a board from a place like the Horseshoe is pointless as the boards around 45-50 feet from the stage. My audience recording (with your CA-14's and pre-amp smoked the board recording). I also have another recording from a venue comparable in size to the 'shoe but it was pretty craptastic too based on both the sound guy and the venue itself.
