Well, that's debatable depending on the situation, but in this
case they did have lineouts, and I used them for bass and keys.
This is where the differences begin recording and pa start getting big,
recording comes with an imaging requirement and line-outs come with zero
perspective information and 100 percent direct sound.
I'm finding that there is enough room reverb information on the
other mics, so that when mixed with the 100% direct sound, I can
get a natural sounding mix that has clear and distinct bass and keys.
Some people prefer miking bass cabs...
I was mistaken, he had a PA, but the outputs were only
RCA, and I didn't bring any RCA cables. Next time.
Always bring a mic splitter, take care if you have phantom on all mic
inputs, not all thingies with mic inputs like seeing 48 volts on input
coupling capacitors, they oughta be dimensioned for it but may not so be and
may fail.
The olde style double miking has advantages, especially that you can use the
pa microphone to guarantee you sensible mic distance either by taping the
mics wisely together or when mounting on a stereo bar.
That would be good if you wanted to avoid bad PA
pre-amps. What do you think about this cheap Rolls unit:

Good enough?
