The University of York has a music society which holds lunchtime concerts twice a week and also runs a tiny table-style concert series. I was an assistant technician with the music society for two years and got to learn about cameras and concert lighting. These concerts had a wide range of performances from piano ensembles and flute groups. Setting up and recording these varied concerts has helped to broaden my knowledge of microphone types and placements to best capture different instruments in a concert hall set-up. For the tiny table concerts, they were much more informal and required a smaller, more portable mixing desk. This allowed me to better understand small setups and know how to make them look more minimal for the audience's sake.
