Or the drunk who thinks he's Elvis, grabbing the mic and..."Ooops, sorry man".

Yeah I finally see the error of my ways
Next Club gig my favorite punk band has booked, I'll make sure to educate the sound man.
Dood! Put away those well worn 58s! I'll let you borrow my 414s, I'll rent a set of U87s and I'll bring any other condensers I have.
We gotta have good sound.
No. It was taken to mean that condensers pick up more bleed than dynamics with similar polar response and that's just false. I think we've pretty well outlined the real reasons we don't see many condensers on stage, but that is not a good one.RFR's comment is being taken to mean you would "never" use condensers in live situations...

Edit - Though I'm afraid a lot of "professional" soundpeople labor under that old superstition.
I think most of it is that everybody got bored with the actual OP and decided to go off on a tangent.
I know my problems and I manage them. The fallacy that condensers pick up more bleed - often in the context of somehow accentuating the problems in a room - is very frustrating and I wish it would go away.
Yeah, let's not trigger anything.
Cheers!
But shit, jimmy. Now I'm' triggered. Maybe even being gaslighted. Lol Like I'm insane for suggesting condensers give more bleed.
Hell I got one old C414 that can pick up the mars landing.
I'd love to, but sadly I recorded to tape. And just like the Apollo missions, I accidentally recorded over the tapes. All the data is gone. LolHa! Yeah man, I get it.
Can you please post a sample of the mars landing? It is hard for us to grasp what you are hearing without a sample....
LMAO!

Make sure they have the same polar response (cardioid vs cardioid) and put them in the same place and then match the levels. It's possible that the added noise in the dynamic signal will mask some of the lower level bleed/room tone, but that's not the same as not picking it up.So you're saying the same is possible with condensers? How?
