[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 480341, member: 16533"] The trick with live recording is figuring out if you're tyring to capture each instrument separately for later mix or just capture the board mix. If the former, your best bet would be using a portable recorder/mixer (hard drive based recorder) and taking direct outs for each mic/instrument from the board (assuming it has direct outs on each channel . . . i.e., like a Mackie board). Otherwise you'd need a splitter on each mic/instrument. This is semi-complicated and requires at least the portable recorder ($500+). If you just want to capture the show as mixed, then Terry's VCR method works as does any single or stereo recording option. You could use the Mackie Onyx Satellite to take a line out or stereo out from the board and record into your laptop. The only issue I'd see (potentially) with Terry's VCR method is that if you want to then go into digital mode (into a computer), you probably loose a little fidelity, but then we enter the debate over whether anyone would hear it. Some bands I know just drop two mics in the room back near the board and do a true "live" digital recording off those mics -- this will tell you what the audience heard. [/QUOTE]
