You said, "But the sound - er, good thing they hired me, because I

amplified bands, but I have been

Tongue in cheek.


That means you haven't been around the block; you've just walked in
front of a few buildings. You're discovering a whole 'nother level of
complexity.

Yes!

And, by the way, if you're recording things with the AGC turned on,
you're going to get crappy recordings. Every time.

Wel-l-l-l - my excuse is that there is hardly any sound check, I can't
depend on their levels staying the same, and when doing a video shoot I
can't monitor the gain on my remote recorders. The AGC on the Zoom and also
on the Tascam are very gentle on their action, and never record too high,
usually a little lower than expected. For my jobs, better to get acceptable,
workable audio than leave it to chance. I HAVE obtained some excellent
recordings this way. Except when some moron seated near the recorder does
some POP clapping instead of normal applause.
