Hi new here-Taping questions

[bryonsos]

Mixing it up? I expected the Hof.

do you think 131 front row will be good enough? the tickets and me deciding to bootleg were last min decisions. 800 bucks for 4 tickets. yikes! so worth it though.

A lot of members here freak out at the use of the word bootleg, which actually means you are planning to offer your recording for sale.  Most of us are OK with stealth taping, but not with selling our recordings.

In future, best to use the word tape.

yipes! yet another poor job by me. i have no intention of selling. im not expecting a stellar recording, just a recording by me. also itd be nice for a change to hear in 96khz/24 bit, regardless of space consumed ( i have a 1tb usb hard drive so im good on that end)

Always works for me...

Good answer, Good answer!

Don't sweat it. There are some curmudgeons around here. No great secrets of stealth have been revealed. Bootleg, tape, recording, ROIO, some of us don't really care what you call it. Others get their panties in a wad over semantics. Some others will probably chime in and say taping at 24/96 is a waste with internals. Ignore that, too. Do what you can with what you have. If it makes you happy, cool. If you are dissatisfied with the results, come back here and you can get lots of advice on adding external mics and preamp.

If you are using internals, your options for st3alth ( often indicated here by using this emoticon: ) are limited and really shouldn't take much thought. And if you're in assigned seating, you're gonna get what you get.

Well, I found a great animated .gif pole-dancer Hoff. I'm just waiting for the right moment to debut it.

i already have the dr 100mkII

Assuming this is the setup, 131 is ok, but if you can get on the floor, or closer on one of the sides, you'd probably be a lot better off. Maybe someone more familiar with the dr 100mkII can chime in.

I don't know how the new Giants stadium sounds compared to the old one, but I wouldn't expect a good recording from back there.

If you want to give it a whirl just for "practice" I say go for it.

Like I said, it WILL be covered. I am not aware many Springsteen shows in the east that haven't turned up eventually.

Depending on the arena, sometimes those corners can be problematic due to excess reverberation from the room. I know our local civic center is terrible in that spot. Maybe the venue design where you are going will deal with it better. Let's hope! Good luck with it.

You only mentioned the recording device...what about the mikes and battery box or preamp?  If you're only going to try with the Tascam, leave it home and go to the show and enjoy it.

Best answer so far.  The DR100 is tiny.  With wands there are many ways.  In fact full on metal detectors should be of minor issue if one is creative.  That said, get there early on line and watch and observe.  There is ALWAYS one person working security who is clueless and that is the person you should have check you.

After seeing the seating chart and 131 I would guess the difference between a DR100 w/internal mics recorded at 24 96 and mp3 would be much less than you might think.  Hope you just went and enjoyed the show.

If would favor a more casual way of carrying it in. Girlfriend's purse...?

My buddy's wife wears a double-D bra - and she can hide the entire  rig under her boobs.

Hey . . . if it's an option . . . run with it!

Yep - we had our buxom GF "escort" a D5 and D6 under "the shelf" at JGB 91 Cap center shows!

Those are some big decks!

My old housemate's girlfriend tops you all.  Neil Young at the Cow Palace in 1986 or 1987.  PCM F-1, SL2000 Betamax and 3 Nicad batteries under her skirt.  Granted, she was not a size 2.

I'm not sure I'd be so proud to tell everyone I went there...  But I guess fat chicks need love too...

Wasn't MY girlfriend.  I have no shame when it comes to getting gear in.
