Andrew Osenga Taping Policy
So, one of the things we believe in here at ao.net is concert recordings. We think you know that from following us in the past.
We asked Andy if he would submit to an official taping policy, and he has agreed to the following:
- You’re allowed to tape Andrew Osenga’s concerts.
- If the venue will allow it, Andy is okay with you getting a board feed.
- Andy is also cool with videos of concerts.
We’ll add the following caveats that are standard to the taping community:
- Share and share alike. Don’t sell.
- Trade in lossless formats [FLAC, SHN, etc.], and keep lossy formats [AAC, MP3] for your own personal use only.
- Be respectful of the artist and the venue as you tape.
We encourage you to print this out for proof in case you get asked. Of course, if you’re at a show and wanting to tape, you can just go up to Andy before the show and get him to okay it with the venue if he doesn’t know about it beforehand. The only times I’ve ever had to ask the venue is for a board feed, and most places are definitely okay with it. Just bring the equipment and cabling you’ll need to hook up to the board.
If you have questions about recording, we can address that in a separate post.
