I'd fully expect that!!! Though I wonder if they can effectively turn off, or at least turn down guitar cabs & the like enough to give an idea of what's going to tape, more-so then "shooter muffs" anyway. Also wondering if there's any tonal shift from the noise canceling technology since it's DSP based...

Regardless, if I can't get full isolation from the band then I'd rather be in the same room and have the communication be in top form, and deal with whatever sonic issues by recording & listening back in chunks.

Seems to work...

All you need to make a record is a mic, some tape and maybe some bad reverb...
