Topic: need advice... configs and setup...

[justink]

here's the situation:

i'm in the pit, row 2 (not sure of exact seat #) for DMB at the woodlands.

this is what i have to work with:

mc012 (card), and some nice stealthy soundpro omni's w/ bat box
mixpad 4, and maybe a mp-2
d7

would it be possible to maybe run a 4 mic mix? would it be worth it that close to the stage?

what height should i run the mics? what config?

thanks for any help!

try it if you want.  Personally, i'd probably run the octava's>mp2>d7 if thats what you have to work with.  But if you are 2nd row in the center, they will shut down your stand unless you run it at head height.  So from that position you might almost have to do the SP>BBox>D7  it is possible to run a 4 mic mix, if you use your SP omni's i'd space them or a j disc, then run maybe an ORTF with the mc012's, run them both into the mixpad > MP2 > D7.  That would work, and it would be interesting to hear the results.

that could work... how should i input the batt box into the mixpad?  does it have a stereo 1/4 inch in?

would it be worth it to run from the second row?  unless i'm on an extreme side to go for the stack, i'm not sure itwould work.  because honestly, the view is awesome... but the sound sucks ass down there.

i wouldn't run the sound pro mics.  Certain sound pro mics when run off a battery box are prone to distortion, which may ruin the entire recording.  Plus mixing on the fly would be a pain

just to throw it in:

i ran sp bmc-1 -> spsb-2 -> md for 9.20.00 at Sandstone, bela opening, 2nd row, head height and it smokes pretty damn good...

i'll have to get this one out there, it's uncirculated as of now.. forgot i had that one :X
