Hello all, Awesome forums you have here. I have been reading for a few days now. You guys rock! Here is my situation: 1. I bought a Edirol R-09 a while back to record lectures for my business. I have been using it to record drum workshops and drum circles more than for lectures. I just set it in the middle of the circle while everyone is playing, adjust the input levels accordingly (using internal mics), and let it go. 2. I have been using Sound Forge 8.0d to clean up the tracks and burn to CD's. 3. Bought a set of these mics (http://www.audioreality.com/) on eBay with a POS Olympus voice recorder for $51.00. Tested the mics with battery box and R-09 at home with drums and everything seems to work fine. 4. I have 3 shows coming up over the next few weeks. Of all the shows, the first one is the one that I really want to record! Now this is where I plead for your help. I have the gear (My Dad has always told me that I have more money than sense!) but I don't have the Guts. With knowledge will come courage and I am hoping to learn from all of you in a very short period of time. What do I do next? What do I need to know about smuggling these technological wonders into a show? What happens if I get caught? This might make a good topic all by itself! Once I am in, where do I hide the Edirol? The battery box? Tips on mic placement for a big show? I have floor tickets and expect it to be LOUD. I am thinking that everyone wearing glasses with Croakies is automatically subjected to a cavity search. Am I right? Any tips on basic settings for the Edirol? A starting point? Is it at all smart to check levels on the R-09 while standing in the crowd? That monitor screen and red "Record" button are pretty bright. Thanks in advance!
