Topic: CSB mic difference in outdoor/indoor venues?

[natas43]

I run the same rig....CSBs>CS battery box/bass roll off> MT.  I seem to have the opposite at times.  I have only had one good outdoor tape pulled.  For that one, I was literally half way between the stage and the board, about 10 feet to the left.  The other outdoor ones have been in various locations, but always sound distant.

Indoors is another story.  I think I have only pulled one really horrible indoor tape.  I was in the back of a balcony recording a VERY loud show (Sepultura).

omni's + outdoors = goodness... many people think otherwise, for some reason. just get a bit closer than FOB to stage and you're good

is it worth to get cards for indoors and omni's for outdoors?

I'm not sure which mics I ordered from Church-Audio, but what Chris told me is that his mics are in-between an omni and cardioid cap mic. So if you got the same thing that I got then you should be okay. I'm using mine in October for a Chris Cornell show so I can't comment on how it sounds but I will post my results to see how the recording turns out. I think you should be okay, but maybe if Chris chimes in he can explain better.

Hope that helps!!
