Dedicated and dutiful tapers are permitted to audio record many shows. They're using expensive mics and digital recorders. Recordings are usually posted fairly quick after the festival, at archive.org and bt.etree.org, and elsewhere.
Long answer probably includes if you end up with the wrong security person on the search they might give you crap. If they do turn around and try again.

Okay, that doesn't sound too bad. I am a very inconspicuous person. I'll just put it in the bottom of my bag when entering Centeroo.
another question about the same topic....
If I am in Centeroo with it turned on, and it is on the end of and 18-27 inch mini monopod, would I get accosted by security or anything like that?
However I would recommend getting some external mics if you want high quality sound. Then you can just clip them to a hat or something. Save your arms the trouble.

Yea, lol. I'll roll in with a few XLR boom mics. haha
I've been messing around with my Zoom H1, and it sounds pretty damn good for $100. Just need to work on tweaking the levels so they are just right. It also pics up vibration pretty bad if using it handheld.
I'm going to buy a mini, or full size monopod and test that to see how it works out. If the sound still has the clunky vibration noise i'll have to pick up a 3.5mm line in mic.
I can't afford any quality XLR equipment at the moment.
You don't have to spend big to get something nice. For $30-40 you can get something good. For about 100$ you can get something really good from this guy stores.ebay.com/CHURCH-AUDIO
You almost always see some nice setups by tapers at the front of the barricades around the sound mix platforms. Their mics are usually on some kind of steady tripod, and elevated a few feet above the crowd. Sound checks are usually done with the drums and vocals before a band starts, and can give you an idea for sound levels.

On bt.etree.org, most of the recordings will list the workflow used by the taper; mics, recorders, software used for mixing, and final medium recorded to, etc. These guys get into it. Many of the recordings are posted in .flac/lossless format.

for setting levels at a show, just adjust to the snare during soundcheck. 99% of the time it's the loudest thing in the mix, and the other 1% is the kick.
also not sure about this since I haven't taped at a roo since 2008, but I remember the ferris wheel entrance being much more informed about bringing in rigs
also, come visit us at taperssection.com if you want to learn more about recording
You can bring recorders in, I've been taping roo for the past 3 years (wide) and only got shut down a couple times (pheonix 09 and bruce 09) suprisingly most other bands don't care.
I want to suck up to a taper for Radiohead and Puscifer purposes!
I'll be taping radiohead for sure as long as they don't shut me down
I've lurked for a few years so I've never had the opportunity to thank you, so thank you very much for the plethora of recordings that you have made in the past. You have helped me not only to relive some truly beautiful moments, but have enabled me to lure many friends out to the farm. Thank you very much.
