Ended up not being able to record. Front row was great for the view, sucked for stealth possibility. Ushers everywhere up there and no way to conceal the mic well. But man did I learn a lot going into that situation (even without the recording process)! I totally think I could have pulled it off from several rows back, with some more visual cover, but that front row thing killed me. The show was absolutely great. His last stop in the home town of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. And actually, the bass was incredibly powerful at many points. Songs on myspace and on the cd don't really prepare you for what the live show was like. It was a very wide range of stripped down soft acoustic songs and really crazy noise rock with pounding bass drums! Thanks for the advice anyways, and I will be sure to continue here on Minidisc.org

I also wanted to share what the music sounds like that I will be recording. Here it is via myspace: http://www.myspace.com/boniver Hope somebody out there reads this thread!!

Hey all. This is my first post as a new member here on the forum. I have been reading quite a bit in the last weeks and have found this site amazingly helpful with all things MD. When I was younger (I am 25 now) I picked up the MD bundle 5 (if my memory serves me right) and loved it until my infatuation wore off. Well... years later I have once again found a new reason to love MD! I plan to do my first recording tomorrow at a show and wanted to ask a last minute question: I have front row seats at the local theater for a show and I am worried that my location is going to negatively impact my recording. I am also located pretty far to the right side. I have attached a picture highlighting the seats. How much will it matter? What can I do to help the sound? Some info: The venue is pretty large. It is the local State Theater. It might be very similar to your local "State Theater". I've been in a few different state theaters in the past and they have all been rather similar. I'm going stealth. They have a no recording policy. Also, I have two different mics. An Audio Technica Pro 24 and a Sony ECM-MS907. I want to use the AT but is there any reason I shouldn't? Thanks for any advice!! Good to be in the presence of experts!
