RECORDING:
If you want a board recording of the show you will need to bring a recording device and 1/4 cables @ load in (7pm).
Keep in mind that in a room of this size a board recording will be very drum and vocal heavy. To get a realistic image of the performance you will need to bring room mics to balance the guitars and any other amplified instruments.
Please do not come up to the booth right before the bands begin or while they are playing and ask to plug in. We don't want to take the chance of unplugging something and impacting the show.
