i recorded the crowd once....just pointed a mic at em

dumb ass me put the mic tooo close a speaker with the input level too high so it was pretty much distorted with the bass and everything.... anyway it sounded weird with the mono mic recording a live set...

but - it was usefull - i just added the crowd on breakdowns and other less busy parts with the bass rolled off and it sounded fine - i think if ya played a mic mix alongside the sequenced live data it sounds terrible - loads of phaze effects etc.... ya best either recording a perfect mic - or just adding abits like i did

or somethin
