Live at the Chapel with Richard Whatson

On Monday 23rd September, we observed the setting up of a "Live at the Chapel" session, which featured a pianist/singer as the main act of the night. Some of the RTU students helped set up the microphones for the piano and the vocals. The setup consisted of 2 CK90 condenser microphones for the piano, and a CK91 condenser for the vocals. The music tech team and RTU students did all of the equipment setup, with Paul Cobbold as the chief audio engineer. Richard performed the songs I know precisely, I'll do it tomorrow and Straight to video. All the songs were his own material, and were quite entertaining to listen to. There were a few problems initially, but they were sorted out in a short time. The problems were mainly because of camera 3 not working, and one song took 8 takes before the right recording was used. The night lasted about 3 and a half hours and it went rather smoothly.
