I am setting up to go record live groups and I want to have my stuff together as much as possible so I don't get in the way of the band and get a good recording.
So, I have the drum micing worked out, set of Audix F series mics I picked up on e-bay using clips for all but the OHs. 5 will come on 1/4, the 2 condensers for the OHs on XLR. They may not be the best, but for a starter kit, they should be OK.
For the Guitar amps, I plan on using some Sure 58's on the amps (up to 3) hanging down to the speaker (I am trying to avoid extra mic stands so the stage doesn't get too crowded).
Now, for the vocals and if there are acoustics, I was going to use their mics (their being who ever I am recording). I was either going to come off the board if it has that capability, or split the cable, one for board one for interface.
Here is the question, I assume most bands do not use mics that require Phantom. But if they do and I split, would the board provide the power and would the splitter cause any issues with the mic in regards to Phantom power.
Hopefully my question is clear. I am making sure I have as much information before I go out and can focus on mic placement and level.
Thanks for any feedback you provide.
