| I guess the main question is this: We have been doing remote recordings, but you know the drill, tear down the gear in the studio and throw it in the car, set up somewhere close to the venue if possible, nightmare everything, incredible potential for disaster, etc. But the results have been good regardless, and more and more folks have asked for us to record live (usually with a film crew for DVD). We recently had a request from someone who wanted us to put together a remote truck, with the possibility of financial backing to pull it off. Our question is regarding the technology... is the envelope being pushed a la Roland to smaller and lighter and cheaper, yet maintaining reasonable sonic quality? We have good pre-s which we can offer, but one does wince taking the Millenia pre amp into a dusty dressing room with dubious energy supplies, etc. I'm sure you've been there and done that. Is a big remote truck still a necessity, with room for VIP's and all that, in order to hype the client etc.? |
