Facebook Live House Concerts
Hey All,
I'm no gigging musician but I sure know it's dire out there now for those who are. For the past two nights, I've really enjoyed watching Michael Ronstadt play on FB Live from his bedroom as his regular gigs those nights were cancelled. I'm able to Chromecast them to my TV and surround sound system. It's practically like having him there. He was my daughter's cello instructor until her concussion messed with her pitches. Anyway, I know he's using a proper mic and a mixing table prior to feeding it into his lap top. The Video isn't the best but his audio is great. (I bet if you ren everything through a board then out to a mic jack on a lap top this could work with even smaller ensemble bands).
Since it's a FB Live event, he can see our comments in real time (requests and virtual applause) so he's even able to interact with the crowd. For once, the dog at his feet isn't in the way of his cello spike! He includes a link to his various forms of payment and you can pay what you can or not. Mostly, he loves playing, but I get the need and pay what I can as I can.
I just wanted to offer it up as a suggestion with the positive feedback from our experience.
