Re: Tips for recording stage performances

Hmmm, getting audio from the mixing board might be more complicated than I thought.
Regarding mic placement, I don't think I'll have the option to place a mic and recording device on stage. I think what you are implying is that a well-paced cheap mic can often sound much better than a poorly placed expensive mic. That sounds reasonable. But let's bound this in a bit tighter. If my only options are using the in-camera mic or some modest on-camera mic solution, will there be any increase in audio quality with the on-camera mic? Or is it just a waste of money since my camera is stuck in the back of the auditorium?
