The gig April 2, 2009
Posted by Steve "Oz" in Personal.trackback
So, on Tuesday night, we had our first gig. It was an open mic. We sang two songs and then went up for an encore. The first song went pretty well. The second, our strongest piece, actually, didn’t. We had some trouble hearing each other which, I think, was the major contributing factor. We actually practiced a bit out in the hallway which had some pretty good acoustics. We were singing quietly and sounded pretty good. It definitely helped with the confidence.
So, we were about the middle of the pack in the order of things. We enjoyed this. It gave us a chance to relax and watch a bit which helped with nerves. The setup was two mics, neither very good quality and both with their gain/volume set too low and no EQ. We tried to utilize them, but ultimately, I don’t think they helped at all unless one of us was singing directly into it.
In the end, it was a good experience. We got to test ourselves. It was a sort of payoff for all the practicing we’ve done up until now. Though, I don’t think we’ll be signing up for any other performances any time soon.
