Recording Industries on the Job Training

Today was my first experience working on a recording crew. It is a prat of my Recording Industries Studies, Audio Lab Remote Lab class. The assignment was to record the JCA Fall Showcase Concert at the Schrott Center for the Arts. I set up the microphones from the Cat Walk 50 feet above the auditorium floor of the Schrott Center. It also included testing sound levels/ adjusting sound volumes/ and gaining hands-on knowledge about how a real engineer would work in recording a concert. It was rather overwhelming at the beginning but a began to get the hang of things when things settled down.
