Soundboard recording???
Anyone know a good method to record from the soundboard at a venue? I was thinking maybe with an ipod, but I hear they have a quality block on them.
Anyone have any good methods to recording from the soundboard?
I am having 3-4 people tape my upcoming show and I want to edit a dvd out of it. sound quality I am sure would be horendous unless I get a soundboard
recording.

some clubs will provide a dat or cdr recording, so ask them first.
if you're doing it yourself, find a friend with a laptop, and if they don't already have audio recording software, splurge and buy it for 'em. for
the past few years, macs have come with software called garage band that will allow you to record.
ipods will not work at all.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I have a digital recorder I used as a soundboard recorder
we would mix all the channels down to 8 tracks, and then those could be mixed later and mastered
I thought about pursuing this line of work before the printing thing took off
come in and record your show for 50.00 mix and master for another 50.00
easy money
look on craigs list in your area
there are all kinds on equipment nerds with nothing better to do

If your gonna' record live a piece of advice (from previous experience) is turn a mike on the crowd. We recorded live through the board using a DAT
once and it was so good it almost didn't sound live.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
