My mic and boxiness--Advice?

Forums

Hey all-

I recently got a BLUE Baby Bottle, and for the life of me, the only thing I can do to get it to sound un-boxy is to start screwing around with the midrange either on my joemeek VC1Qcs (mic preamp/comp/EQ) or after tracking. I feel the boxiness leaving it when I'm cutting about 3-6dB anywhere between 1.6k and 2.2k, and that just doesn't seem right to me.

Advice on live rec'ding band w Mackie 24 + ADAT

Hello all.

If anyone has any advice, I'd be most appreciative in advance.

I'll be recording a theatre performance, 4 singers and a band. All the instruments and singers will be miked and going through a Mackie SR 24x4 board.

Since I don't have much experience with live boards, these are my questions:

portable recording gear advice?

In Fall of 2003, I will be studying theory and composition at a fairly large university. This school's performance majors are required to submit a recorded recital at the end of each semester; naturally, many recordists are needed. I have been producing local amateur singers and rappers for about a year on my DAW but have little experience with location recording.
