Yeah I experienced that issue too when making Videos for bands or just shooting for my own fun.

wayne Tait replied to wayne Tait's discussion Live Recordings Demanded"sorry can't get to that site here...(Clear Channel) what's it about Charles?"
Charles R. Kaiser replied to wayne Tait's discussion Live Recordings Demanded"In all seriousness, if you are supplying copies of a live show to be distributed to anyone other than the band (e.g. audience members, etc.) right after a show, then that recording might just belong to Clear Channel! I was shocked."

wayne Tait replied to wayne Tait's discussion Live Recordings Demanded"the problem stems from doing some good recordings, and then the bar owners deciding... hey we could make some extra bux.. so then trying to put me in a situation where I should do live recordings all the time.

Tim Perry replied to wayne Tait's discussion Live Recordings Demanded"If it part of the job...its part of the job. just do the best you can and don't fret about it. Instead of a board mix try a stereo mic somewhere. Depending on crowd noise and placement it can work out well.

Would you as a professional Live Sound Engineer accept being told by your boss that you had to make unedited or unchecked live recordings available to the bands on demand, and that all the data belonged to the bar, and not you as the engineer, to be released at your discretion. And as such you can not control what happens to that…See More

Ever worked in China...? Kids dont try this at home!

I am based in Guangzhou. South China.
I recently found that my entire main system and stage was getting its AC from a hotel type plug adapter rated at 10Amps.. I calculate a load of around 25 to 28 Amps at full power.. any guesses what happens next?
I also discovered my venue was syphoning power from the local park supply, my system was online with Air Cons, the AC voltage at the amps was 175.. Guess what happened…

I've mainly been doing major concerts here in Hong Kong and that is only recently as I'm mainly doing studio mixing these days.

Nice picture of your venue! A Pipa is an ethnic Chinese instrument I've run into a time or two over here. Sorta like a bazouki, but not.

munyao said… - hm' i suggest if the gain of a mic input is correctly set at the recommended db, and slightly reduced then, the sub 3/4- for vox also set at a verified level, their should be no or very minimal crashes NB- this depending on of course the signal flow. every streaming of the signal should be clean. KENYA oh !
