If you have an audio club in your area, maybe you should invite them to record you.
When the Connecticut Audio Club had a live concert last year, the poor singer faced a forest of mics. We have at least 10 guys who love to record live music, and they’ve already got thousands of dollars worth of equipment.
Alternate idea - if you want a good copy of a small music gig, Tascam makes a terrific portable digital recorder.
I set mine on a table hit record and set levels, then forget it. Tascam DR-40X Portable Digital Recorder
It’s simple to learn to use, compared to a taper’s setup, and amazing quality. Use it for taping local friend’s bands and it’s easy to copy to PC then upload to Archive or other music-sharing sites.
Also handy for band rehearsals, or jams with friends at parties, etc.
I am in CT.
Great suggestion!
I know a guy who should still have a pretty good home audio studio setup.
He retired from his regular job and last I checked still plays jazz type music.
I need a small job.
A thing I got myself for Christmas, knowing it was vinyl, was the show music from the old BW Untouchables series. Cheap and still in the plastic. I need it bumped over to some digital format. No point buying a turntable and converter for a one time.
I like TV and movie soundtracks, especially older stuff and oddball types.
Usually I rip a CD and port to a phone. A disc rarely gets touched again if ever after.
I’ve sold a few off that aren’t that important to me but worth a few bucks to some out there. Some more are leaving.
