Band recordings in a venue :
Every mobile
recording session needs a slightly different approach, in part this is determined by budget.
The methods are as
follows:
1)Stereo bus desk FOH recording and audience mics where practical.
2)Multitrack direct channel
outputs from FOH console and audience mics where practical (mix later)
3)Split microphones / preamplify and multitrack
record
with audience mics where practical (mix later)
Maximum track count with full multitrack back up = 24 tracks
Maximum track count no back up 48 Tracks with offer of free recording
in the event of technical hitches, subject to agreement.
Option 1 is the most
cost effective and 3 is the most expensive.
Option 1: relies on the sound balance the PA engineer
makes
for the PA system in the venue, it might not sound quite as you would wish but is a very cost effective option.
Option 2: a good compromise and allows flexibility in the mixing stage though some dynamic processing from the
FOH console can affect the recorded sound. The recording quality can still be influenced by the FOH console engineer using
this approach. With diplomatic communication with the FOH engineer a great recording can be achieved.
Option
3: is the best solution as the recording is controllable during record and mix stages, it is also the most technically complex
and a little more costly.
The equipment is not housed in a vehicle
and this makes the pricing very cost effective, it is usual to be stageside, near FOH or in an allocated space in the venue.
