Thanks, that sounds just what I need. Does anyone have a feel for how close you can stand to the PA stack if using a neoprene pouch as described without getting subject to vibrations again?

Thanks again, really helpful

Thanks for this advice, excuse my ignorance, but where would I get such a thing? And if I had this pouch, would I be able to stand closer up to the PA stack again or would I still have to stand further back. How far back would you suggest with and without the pouch?

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and suspect this problem may have been discussed at least in part previously, but I'd like to get your opinion on a specific problem I have when recording live and loud rock music in small to medium sized venues. Whilst the sound and quality of the recordings is pretty good, I tend to always get skips and jumps in the recording to varying degrees. I use a Sony MZ-R90, Sound Professionals basic binaural mics and SP battery box. Recently, I recorded the same group at two different venues and from slightly different positions. First night - stood about 3m-4m from main PA stack, no bass roll-off, recording levels about one-third of max - result = sound was good, but the recording had about 20-odd tracks on it and numerous micro-skips throughout and the odd digital noise. Second night - stood a bit further back, say 6m to 7m from PA stack, 69Hz bass roll-off, recording levels one-third again - result = sound very good, a much better recording, came out on one track, but still a few skips and jumps here and there, say one per song and audible/annoying. Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening again? It seemed standing a bit further back did help, but was this just coincedence? Or was it something to do with the bass roll-off? A friend suggested it might be a magnetic source interference but I can't think what. Is it a general MD problem? Any advice would be very gratefully received.
