    Not sure what you mean by 'second mic', but all the videos ive posted on the Bands FB page (and mine) that were recorded with the OP3 have just the original audio from the camera. It seems to handle loud volumes quite well, much better than my GoPro. This is one of those videos. Recorded from just in front of one of the speakers.

    Yeah. It’s funny but in my 40 years of playing live, mostly small gigs with a self contained band it’s never been an issue. Now i know it’s happening it’s like the end of days 😂

    Haha. Bloody predictive tax 😂

    I find it not to work well. I guess it’s partly to do with the singers technique, to far away and they won’t open the gate, but needs a heavy gate to stop the noise etc. I also found that when the gate was opened for the voice the stage volume would also get picked up so it’s like a birth of volume. im sure those more experienced could set things up better, i have to do it from the stage while playing so cant ride the faders. I think all this might be a bit too anal for smaller pub gigs.

    Same with two of mine. I now insist they leave them on and I’ll mute them if needed, which i never do for the reasons in my previous post.

    He got this one. Ive not really read up on it, but he says it’s better from drummers. He tends to have the mic facing down, towards the kit, so no mic like this is going to make much difference https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Audix-OM2-Dynamic-Microphone-Secondhand/6Q0H?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLSy0WpNqQq3ej3B9PDSd3UJp

    Just wondered if anyone uses a Black Light/UV at small gigs. I know what they do, but not sure how effective or when id really use one.
  8. dave_bass5
    That's what I do. I take in to account the bleed when mixing out in the room. A couple of mics are only used on about 2-3 songs, but it's less hassle to leave them on all night. I know it not a huge amount going to FOH, but I have noticed the difference at soundcheck when im out front

    My drummer recently changed from his SM58 to something that was supposed to be more directional. Made no difference at all lol.

    Can’t help with that, but i do have question as well to those that do. Ive been shocked at how much the vocal mics pick up. A lot more than i thought. Since i started recording our gigs as multitrack i get pretty much a full mix just from the live mics on stage. One mix is only used for a few songs but left on so the FOH balance is consistent. My thinking (probably wrong) is if i used a noise gate wouldn’t the FOH volume change each time someone sings. I realise mic placement comes in to play, but each time someone sings the on stage sound also goes through FOH. Could this cause a bit of pumping out front volume wise? Probably over thinking this.

    Id say that would be Maggie May, that's all over the place but great fun to play.
  12. dave_bass5
    It’s one of my favs as well. I’d happily play that all year round lol. I’ve started to use the sample of Noddy shouting ‘it’s Christmas’ to start the song (and the Christmas section of the set).
  13. dave_bass5
    Yeah, i use rechargeable’s all the time, and the Eneloops don’t tend to go flat when not used, but as it’s something i don’t really think about it’s something i don’t need to think about.
  14. dave_bass5
    The only reason i got the passive version is to keep with me, just in case. I’m not sure how long the battery will last in the P2 if it’s not used for a year to so. Not having to worry about a battery seems like a better option for me.
  15. dave_bass5
    This reminds me that i still have them in my main bass. I dont think ive ever considered changing them out since i got them.

    I need to get some insurance and PLI sorted out for some gigs this month. Can i ask if any of the above cover laptops as well? I tried Newmoon but couldn't see the option. I know Musicguard does it, and will probably go with them, but wanted to shop around if possible first.
  17. dave_bass5
    Yeah, it’s a decent sensor. Not as sharp as using my R7, but a hell of a lot easier. In fact one of the reasons i got it was so i could hand it to people in the audience to use, without having to explain how it works. Just turn the LCD and it comes on and starts recording. No settings to mess with. Saying that i do have some footage of the inside of some blokes nose 😂.

    As Russ has explained, it’s dynamic range. It’s still a small sensor but i do feel it’s better than my iPhone and other smaller sensor devices I’ve had. i record all our gigs as a multitrack in Logic so i haven’t bothered with the external mics. I believe they are 32bit float so should work quite well as you describe above. This is the mount. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D4VKGTT4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    To be honest I hardly use it. I just dont seem to go anywhere interesting much at the moment. Saying that, I have no regrets. It's certainly the best hand held video camera ive owned. very easy to use and IQ is really good. My iPhone probably does just as well but doesn't have the stabilisation, and is a bit noisier in low light (or there is more NR appleid so not quite as sharp). It has a nice DR and seems to handle bright lights well. it's a big improvement on my old OP2, which hasn't been used in about 3 years. I recently got a small magnetic mount for it so hoping to use it more at gigs from the stage.

    Gear4music do their own version of the P2 for £29. The passive version is even cheaper. I keep one of those in my gig bag as a back up. No need to worry about the battery going flat with that one.
  21. dave_bass5
    I got the Thomanns 2.4ghz version a while ago and it’s been nothing but rock sold and a joy to use.
  22. dave_bass5
    Yeah, i can see why it would need it, especially as it’s in a plastic casing, but ive never come across one that has actually had a fan in it. Never had a plastic light though. I left it running for an hour last night and it was as cool as when i turned it on, but i guess it’s safer to have it rather than not.
  23. dave_bass5
    I got one of these today. Only £40 So took a chance. It’s very bright, brighter than our existing ones. It’s cheaply made so not sure how long it will last, but i might get a few more after the next gig. A lot smaller than our LED par cans. I was very surprised to see it had a large fan in it. Not sure that’s really needed but maybe it is. Only downside is the very short captive mains cable, but I’ll sort that out easily enough. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0D3WND6X1?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    The problem with all these threads is the lack of one person to let another person have their view and move on. When arrogance appears is when things turn to BC Jerry Springer. …and i don’t care what you think about the above, becuse i know im right 😂😇
  25. dave_bass5
    Is that also why people ‘NEED’ multiple basses? Because they don’t practice enough on each one🤣
