How do you prepare for documenting live-music, spoken word or theater? Through hands-on exercises in real-life music and other performance recording situations, you will learn how to record high quality live audio efficiently and inexpensively. The different challenges of acoustic and amplified audio will be explored, as well as the pros and cons of using live-sound mixing board feeds and using your own microphones. We will discuss selecting the best microphones for each situation, and whether to record to a computer or a hardware recorder.
