so i'm going to take a stab at recording a live show to md - specifically
the upcoming ae gig at the el rey in la. i've got a shiny little silver
sony but my question for the seasoned out there is: what brand/type of mic
would you recommend? can i get by with a simple jacket-lapel-clip-on
arrangement (to keep both hands free for maximum chin-stroking ability) or
should i invest in a more standard mic (like that $99 sony model) that i'll
have to hold through the entire gig? i saw a few options recently in the
sony store at the sf metreon, but didn't pick up anything. i know the
thread on how to smuggle came up a bit ago, but i don't remember anything
specifically on mics in the last several months. advice on the mic and
general recording techniques, to maximize signal-to-noise, is appreciated.
thanks,
ray lind
