Bell Foundry 8/16
I’m getting into mixing and recording live shows. I’m realizing that while there is a lot of great video footage of live events here in Baltimore, the audio component of the show is usually done with an onboard camera mic, or maybe a shotgun mic attached to the camera. With not much additional effort (I had already set up this show, and was running sound), I was able to set up a pair of mics on two of the concrete pillars opposite in the stage in the Bell Foundry.
I REALLY like the acoustics here, plenty of reverberant space and the concrete floor and ceiling give it a bit of a cathedral effect. The audience was very quiet, sitting cross-legged in a humid basement, and I’d like to think they were appreciating the sound and the moment as much as I was.
