X JAPAN World Tour / Re: X Japan World Tour @ Tivoli, Utrecht - July 2nd
« on: May 16, 2011, 10:08:02 PM »I just bought $460 worth of additional equipment to record the gig! Battery box and some new mics, wires etc. Can't wait!Wait, are you going to work in the club or you have a bunch of secret mini-mics hidden on you or...?
Clip-on mics and a battery box yes. It's not secret, stealth recording is quite common and normal.
Maybe not the smartest thing to say on a public forum?
Not at all actually.
I'm usually front row, nd people there usually don't film... but then you look behind you and see an army of cameras
This is indeed not much in the spirit of metal. Horns up or GTFO. I do carry a pocket camera for a song or two if I feel like it haha.
srsly... i'm too much agreeing with Miyavi... why would you record a gig (it's prolly gonna end up on dvd anyways) why not enjoy the show with your eyes, instead of through the lens of your camera? Why not enjoy the memories... you can find every song on internet anyway...
First I want to clarify that I do not do video. Only audio. It's simply being recorded AS I enjoy the show.
The reason of recording a show is exactly for the memories. If you have it down to an art, a recording can come out very beautiful. Here is an example of a video with a seperate audio source from stealth (portable/hidden/clip-on) mic's: To me this is just an excellent recording. Something that will make other people happy as well if they missed the show or if they were there but couldn't record it. Whatever the reason. Recordings are often shared on specialized sites (dime-a-dozen - archive.org etc) with thousands of other people who record live shows with professional equipment. I suppose it's a different branch of being a music lover.
