Topic: Mounting Cards (Stealth)

[carlito1980]

Hi everyone,

I wonder who you all mount your card microphones (Chruch Audio).
Do you use a baseball cap?
Or dou you have got good and easy ideas?

Idea:
Don't talk about stealth.  Don't talk about stealth. Don't talk about stealth.

STEALTH!  Oh, Mr. Lambert just put a bucket over his head again ...

What they all said...     The rule that applies to "Fight Club" also applies to stealth.  Just be creative, that's the only advice I'm gonna offer.

Hi everyone,

I do it myself as it is way too expensive to fly Chris here to mount them for me.

Do you use a baseball cap?

Only as a last resort when I can't find the usual hat I wear when I mow the lawn.

Or dou you have got good and easy ideas?

Yes, I do. Thank you for asking.

And that is what you call newbie friendly?

Newbie Friendly for everything except Stealth.

They like to feel important and jumping on new people gives them a power-trip... Saying that the whole 'don't talk about stealth' is all over this forum and even a new poster should have noticed that stealth techniques are only to be discussed via PM.

Simply look at what you're wearing and where you can place mics... higher-up the better. It really is that simple...  If you have Chris's CAFS then this is anywhere... if your using larger mics then it's a little more difficult.

It's not that I like to feel important as much as I like people to ask intelligent questions rather than a blanket how do I do _______, especially if they offer no indication of having done anything other than post their question.

For tips on how to ask a question where you stand a reasonable chance of getting some useful responses I suggest reading http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html .

Talking too much about stealth makes this a venue security friendly board.

There has been a lot of this going around as of late here. Have people been referred here from others along the lines of "Want to know how to stealth, go here: http://taperssection.com " ?

Thats what it seems like, no?

At the risk of being hounded like the OP, I'm after some -creative- suggestions on mounting cardioids when stealthing.
I'm not new to this, taped numerous gigs, but I prefer to run my AT831's and am going to be taping a show at a high security gig next week.
Hats and croakie mounts are ruled out for me. Hence why I'm asking for some creative suggestions. Can't take a bag in either, so no mics hidden in shoulder straps like i've done before.

Biggest problem is keeping the mics directional and remaining hidden.

PM responses please, keep it off the board.

Why keep it off the board when you already listed a bunch of things you've already tried???    If you were so concerned with keeping things off the board you should have done so yourself.

I'm a fan of stealthing and do so often, however, it is not rocket science.  You all should be able to figure something out on your own!
