I Md'ed Robert Plant at the Beau Rivage Casino Theatre, Biloxi, MS. and it turned out great. KooterB Thanks to everone for the info. I think I have a lot better understanding of what not to do and quite a few new things to try. KooterB I have a copy of the Plant show and it is great. I was at the show and was blown away i've seen Plant solo 4 times now and this was one of the best by far, could have been the setting there isnt a bad seat at the Beau its always nice to be 20 feet from one of your favorite musicians.

Sounds like my next recording will be line in mic sens low manual record levels. What about the volume on the rh10 does it have anything to do with recording? I will probably tape the Mule Saturday nite I will post after the show. I hope this one will be much better. Thanks for the help. Jason

I asked lynn at core sound when I orderd my csb mic's how to run them and he said mic in. I dont think he was happy with my purchase of a hi md recorder I think there in to 24 bit recording. He told me if I wanted to make real good recordings I would have to go with a palm pilot 24/96. I might should have listend to him but I felt that 16/44.1 is very good its cd quality. I know I made a bunch of mistakes but really dont know what to do next time. I like the sony hi md its real small and very stealth. I just want to know what to expect once i get over the learning curve. Any advice appricated. Thanks Jason

Hi all I am new to taping just bought a Sony mz rh10, core sound binuarls with batt box and switchable bass roll off. I read the manual and thought I had a decent understanding of recording but was I wrong. I taped The Black Crowes at the Gulfport grand theater Saturday and it came out horrible. The mic's seemed to be overloaded the whole show, distortion all the way thru. I am going to list how I had my rig set and if anyone who knows more about this than me (anyone) can give me some pointers I would appreciate it. Sony mz rh10 manual record levels steady at 12db the first mark and peaking occasionally past, the manual setting was 8 and 9 thru the entire show. Mic sens HIGH I guess this was a big part of my problem core sound binuarls bass roll off filter on filter mic in PCM I saved it from my md recorder with sonic stage 3.0 in wav. rm mck40 remote to monitor levels i really liked it made it easy to keep an eye on the levels and make changes if need be I had the mics mounted on a baseball cap at the base where the bill meets the head band this put them facing out and up at about 45 degrees kind of looked like this from the front \___/ ____ this being the bill of the hat and \ / this the mics. The mics were 7 1/2" appart. I stood the whole show and am 6'2" I was just right of center stage 7 rows back. Would it be better to have the mics pointed out towards the stage? Like I said the recording came out real bad I guess the term is brickwalling? Mids and highs distorted. I need advice on what to do next time to make better recordings. I have read a lot of post since I found this form and I see where someone was talking about the volume does this make a difference I didn't think it had anything to do with recording I had mine set all the way up is this part of my problem if so where should it be? I want to make real good recordings what should I do are the csb's good or should I dump them and get something better if so what. Money isn't really a problem but I don't want to shell out a ton if I don't have to. What about line in? phantom power 48v? Would this be better? Size is the most important thing as I will be stealthing most of the time. Sorry for such a long post with newbee questions but the place seems friendly. Thanks Jason Crowes_Gulfport_2005_04_24_03.mp3
