The Rules of Guerrilla Recording and Production.

1. Recordings must be made on location, and not on a sound stage or studio.

2. All sounds must be recorded using microphones, either condenser or dynamic. Players of electronic, transduced, or amplified instruments are not permitted to plug directly into a mixer or recording device.

3. Ensembles five people and over are allowed 5 microphones per instrument or vocalist. Ensembles of 3 and 4 are allowed 2 microphones, and ensembles of 2 are allowed one. This rule applies to ensembles recording onto a single track.

4. The Cardioid Microphones, if facing the source of sound, may not be positioned within 4 feet of the subject, though it should be placed at least 8 feet away depending on available space.

4. The Cardioid Microphones, if facing away from the sound source, may not be positioned within 1 foot.

5. Omnidirectional Microphones may not be positioned within 6 feet of subject.

6. Unidirectional or "Shotgun" microphones may not be used.

6. The recorded sound may not be altered (effects, reverb, etc.) except for volume changes for purposes of mixing, and cuts for purposes of editing.

7. If a portion of the ensemble being recorded will be recording on a separate track, this track must be recorded in a separate acoustic environment from the other track. If all instruments will be on separate tracks, all tracks will be recorded in different acoustic environments.
