one camera concert shooting

condensers if you can place them far enough away from the source, but sometimes even with a pad they can be overpowered in a small space. stereo would be great, if you have the time, equipment and knowledge or personnel to set it up and operate. it’s not that difficult, but why go to the trouble if you’re not going to do it right?

it seems to me you’re just looking for a bit of ambiance to mix on top of your board feed. that doesn’t have to be stereo.

also, if you have to be closer with the mike, maybe some kind of dynamic (md421 ?) that wouldn’t get murdered by a high SPL.

Thanks for all the good advice. I’ll post some cool clips in late January.
