Whelans and recording (1 Viewer)

hey helpful types!

I've been approached by a representative of a band to record a show in Whelan's just for their own archives and wanted to know if anybody was aware if they had facilities on the sound desk in Whelan's to record a show and if not are they a bit 'precious' about recording of the gigs in there?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are you recording god talking soul?

they're fine about recording, but you'll need to bring along some kind of recording device to plug into the desk. in past experience they're usually cool with that

Haven't done a live recording there, but most places are sound enough as long as you give them notice and stay out of the way.
Try to talk to whoever will be engineering that night, he/she'll most likely have the best idea what kind of outputs you can get from the desk and such.

Alas GTS have flown below the radar in the past wee while but a comeback is on the cards!!

Cheers for the replies, I'll see what I can get done, build up a rapport with the soundguy before the gig starts!

eh... why dont you just email them and ask?

They used to have a digital desk that you could pay them extra to use. or you could bring your own, ask them to put you in touch with the engineer, pay him a bit extra and get him to come in early...
