Recording the symphony #2

The hall is called Abravanel Hall. This is an absolutely beautiful hall. It is acoustically amazing. There is an aura about the place just walking in. This shot below is a couple of hours before the gig while they were warming up.

Here’s a funky shot below of the stage from the closest seat on the 3rd tier.

Recording the symphony #1

Recording the symphony last night was awesome. I’ve done this gig a couple years in a row now. The hall is amazing and the gear is top of the line. Knowing the setup from last year made it a piece of cake. Don’t tell the client, but all I had to really bring was a blank CD! I brought my laptop system and recorded to that though.

These two snaps below are of the cool sound booth and gear the symphony uses. This was my office last night:

The pic above shows the console and the racks they use. In the racks are tons of patch bays which literally can connect anything in the building. Not only that building, but the convention center next door! The 4 small screens are remote control cameras so you can zoom in on all the pretty ladies!

In the pic above the big screen is a monitor showing the stage. (I should have taken my drink down from next to the monitor). The little monitor is for the lighting system. The console, well you should know what that is for.

Recording the symphony tomorrow

Tomorrow night I record the symphony. May sound like a hard gig but it’s actually really easy. I get to hang in the killer sound booth with some awesome gear, and about 5 remote controllable video cameras. I’ll snap some pix and post a report following the gig.

'iMic'For my 2nd article at The Apple Blog I’ve tested out the iMic by Griffin Technology. This is a neat little USB audio interface that is real cheap for the quality you are getting.
