It is now the end of April, and I have successfully recorded the show. However, in the process of recording the show, I contracted covid, along with a good deal of the cast. Thanks to this, I am now about a week and a half behind on my project, and crunch time is here. The current plan is to practice twice before I take the final recording, and the recording will take place on the day of the final Bindlestiff before anyone gets there from the show crew. Although this will be a tight fit, I have found I always work best under pressure. As for the recording of the show itself, there were a few small issues during the testing due to forgetting to arm all the tracks to record, causing two of the channels to be missing from the initial test. During the second test recording, some of the mic packs batteries died, causing gaps in the recording. Thankfully, they had purchased new batteries before the final recording. When I did return the equipment to campus, I did a brief test to make sure that I had repatched the JoeCo into our system properly, and the playback worked perfectly. I am currently working with John Robinson to block out practice time in the theater before doing the video recording of the project. Hopefully the last stretch of the project goes smoother than the rest has!
