Live gig tunes from the Low Volume Lounge in Nashville March 2026

Is everything miked and running through a house mixing board? Overdub a capture of that house mix with your video. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here. You seem experienced enough to know that yourself.

When I used to gig a little we'd always have the house mix plugged into a laptop which was capturing everything. In fact we always have it capturing separate tracks of each instrument. That way we could adjust things later if we wanted to. They came in handy a few times. Most of the time we just ditched the files after a while.
 
I agree. I think it's mostly due to a cheapo video camera mic.

Only mics are vocals and kick drum. All the rest is stage volume.

Yeah you are a little limited then. About all you could do is get a really good microphone to capture the room sound and hook that up to the video camera.

Knowing now that that was just the video camera mic I would say I'm even more impressed.
