Great recording fdajef, best of the tour so far IMHO ! Did you hide the recorder under a cap on your head or something ? There's none of that "muting" that generally comes with internal mics recording. You were not happy with your Lyon recording, what did you change between the two ? If you'd rather reply by email mine is not hidden. My recording of Lyon is in the expert hands of Stonyroad so maybe he can work some magic on it ;-)
Anyway thanks to all involved for sharing especially since I had to give this concert a miss unfortunately.
I simply set the level manually.
I kept the recorder in my hand, being in the front row, I had no interference.
The two microphones were protected by foam (there was no wind, otherwise I would have had to take out the windscreen and that's not discreet at all)
That's the way to go but it must have felt like a long time holding the device and being worried that security might ask you what you were doing ;-)
Hand holding is tough for a variety of reasons. Having external mics that can be worn is a lot easier and effective as long as movement is limited. In my early taping days we used to hand hold full body mics which was really hard.
We evolved and upgraded to modular mics with active cables. The way I do it now security, crew and those around me have no idea I am recording. That's how I was able to record Hyde Park 2 right next to the sound/lighting board utilizing their fencing to avoid a crowd crush and Pearl Jam at Rock Werchter next to and underneath one of the video camera/crew.
