I'm loomking for some advice on speaker placement within a club that someone I know is re-building.

Below is a rough plan of the club:

Sorry for the newbie question, but...

If I want to record my live session, what seems to work best?

1. To record the audio solely from some audience microphones?
2. To record the audio coming from the FOH mix?
3. A combination of both?

Which technique is used the most? Thanks for your input!

Hey guys!

I will make this short and sweet. I have a budget of around $300 for a reverb. I'm looking at anything new or used. It would be used on mid-sized venues (300-500 peeps) in conjunction with the provided house gear.

you know what really sucks?

when i have to setup my FOH mixer on the side of a stage because the venue is small and has no accomodations for sound professionals, even though they claI'm to be a "music venue"

Say you doing a live sound set up and the place is empty whilst you set up.. how do you prepare for the difference in sound when the place is full whilst setting up in an empty place.

Hi Everyone -

What I'm looking for is a digital version of a four (or six) track recorder for live situations. I'll do all the editing and mixing on my computer, so it needs to have a fairly efficient way of dumping data into a PC. I don't need to use the recorder as a mixing or editing station so I don't care about those functions.

Hello!

It's been a long time since I've posted! That is a good thing though as many of our problems were corrected by the great info I received here!

Now though..we have another issue!

Hello all!

So every year I do live sound for a summer camp theatre program, and they used to rent their sound from some dude, and had me come in to actually run the sound. Next year they'd like to ditch the rental guy and buy their own equiptment. That's where I need some assistance!

I'm really getting sick of inconsistent sound on stage. Our soundman is supposed to be good but we always run into the same problems.
