yeah i figured that would be my only problem because that thing (and any other recorder) eats up power. Has anyone done this type of recording in the past and would have any advice for using power at a venure?
Thats the only kind I do...my rig is (at the moment) AC dependent...
You will have to be the judge on that one...take inventory of where you might record and check it out...
I always tape in bars and clubs that I'm familiar with - so power is never an issue...
The best advice...dont ask, dont tell. Most venues - you can find a outlet somewhere...(not always in ideal places...)
If you want to use power that's part of the mix system...well, then you might have to ask...
Last summer I got AC power at:
State Theater - Falls Church VA
The Norva - Norfolk VA (this wasn't easy!)
The Canal Club - Richmond
Dont count on it - but it can be done...
