The shows I've taped off the soundboard have not been exactly huge shows.. Off the top of my head, I've taped Silver Scooter, Number One Cup, Tiara (many times), Moviola (many times) off the board at the same venue. It's always the same sound person that works the venue and they dont care if I tape (I always have an OK from the band anyways). I dont tip, and up until last April, I couldnt even buy alcohol for myself.. so if anything, I was just really polite, and stayed out of the way. However, you might want to check with the band if it's at a larger venue, like Mouse seesm to be hitting on this tour. Does anyone (Eric Satnik?) know if Mouse has a traveling sound guy? Phil Ek? I'd also say that soundboard recording is going to be pretty hard to get done since they're on Sony and Sony will have this fear of people selling $40 copies of SBD CDR's, so they wont let anyone tape. This happend to Wilco back in the mid 90's.
Re: [MMouse]: RE: More recording..
here is a good website to check for information related to this: http://www.resourcesfortapers.com/resources/tapeband.html it's a list of bands and what their policy is on taping. not totally thorough, but at the very least it gives you an idea of much bands vary on their policy. for example, phil ek will gladly grant you board access and even help you set up at a built to spill show, but will oldham might have you thrown out just for asking. > So lemme get this straight, you just go up to the sound guy and say hey, I > want to plug in to your board and record this show?

Re: [MMouse]: RE: More recording..
its true! i can testify! they dont mind as long as you dont get in the way (like stand where they should stand) or expect him to look after your MD whilst you schmooze with friends. its your responsibility so dont think u can leave it, come back and chuck a hissy fit if it goes missing. and if u tell him you've got the bands permission, they'll be alright with it.

If you plan on doing any editing to the recording, go for it in stereo. I've taped some shows off the soundboard where the right channel has 'clipped' and the left channel is fine. Afterwards, you can just mix the left channel into both channels so you dont have a flawed recording. 10 seconds of mono is better than one loud pop or scratch. In audience tapes, I can tell the stereo.. Usually one channel will record 2 to 4 decibels than the other channel. So if some drunk is yelling on your right, the left will barely pick it up. -Jamie
Re: [MMouse]: RE: more recording
but the question is..can you notice any quality difference by utilizing just the mono feature...seems to me that if you could increase the recording time significantly by using mono, that would be the way to go..i mean you really hear ultimately one sound when your standing there listening to it anyway...how stereo could it really be?? looking into some equipment so i would like to know.. -- Tour de Force, Defacto, Ayuchuco! -- chris - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2000 5:04 PM Subject: [MMouse]: RE: more recording > > Oh contrare bon jour!
