I have an opinion question for you guys. I am designing sound for a rather large (in cast size) production of Godspell that will open next weekend. The show is set on a specific and real street corner in downtown Fort Worth. My thought was to take a mic or two and my laptop Pro Tools rig down there and see if I could get anything good for an ambient location sound.
My only thought though is if this would get annoying or overbearing if it was playing throughout essentially the entire show (I would probably dip it significantly or take it away entirely during music). It would be kept relatively low the entire time except for during any transitions when it might take more of a forefront place. Has anyone tried any sort of ambient sounds like this that last through almost an entire show?
I would probably pump it through the onstage monitors rather than the FOH system, or possibly hide some speakers in the stage.
Any thoughts?
