Need advice on recording (audio) tap dance.
I am shooting a dance recital next week and some of the dancers are using tap shoes. I have tried using a pzm microphone on the stage, but the taps just aren’t being picked up. Does anyone have experience with this problem of how to record the sounds of the shoe taps?

No personal experience but here are 3 threads from rec.audio.pro where this is discussed.
Great audio for “RIVERDANCE”- details?

Sounds like I am on the right track. I am thinking of putting a PD150 in the wings with a shotgun mic. The video would give me a visual sync.
