Who needs mics?
Well,,, maybe singers, sax
players, or anyone who can't provide a jack
output...
Last Wednesday at Starbucks, I saw two college age
guys sharing a
table. Each had a laptop in front of him. One had a Les Paul, the
other some other electric guitar. Each instrument was plugged into
some external audio device that was plugged into his laptop. Each had
headphones on. Each was playing and recording, replaying, etc, etc.
After a while, they packed up their guitars and computers and left.
Wow ! 2 guitar
players at the same table, and they're not jamming together ?
Portable studio. Why should they worry about having large monitors or
an acoustically known room?
Hum, IIRC it was about mastering songs like Bob Ludwig
does ?
Their audience won't be listening on that kind of
equipment or that
kind of room. They'll probably be listening on earphones, possibly at
the back of a bus with the sound cranked up so they can hear it over
the bus engine ...
Don't see any offense, but playing for friends and try to
enjoy masses
with your art are 2 differents sides of the pleasure with music, OTOH it
is a place where you can have a good result without big money, this
place called FLOSS !
