i am planning on recording some future concerts of my band. we are a three piece rock band, and our current gear will have to suffice, due to lack of funds. i would like to get a piece of equipment that would let me just stream my live audio to some sort of digital tape/CD, whatever. it would be great to get something that would allow recording of 8 or so tracks, but unfortunately money is limiting for young musicians like myself. i have a great laptop and software for editing, so i dont need one of those multitrack workstations, i am looking for something to only capture and store my audio, then i will transfer the files to my daw. here's what i have to offer... thanks in advance!
laptop (pc) w/ n-track, cool edit pro 2
MOTU 828 interface (firewire)
one condenser mic
4 dynamic mics
4 piece drum mic kit

i dont know how stable my laptop would be after a while or recording. i use it now to record short 3-5 minute tracks/songs and it works great. i wanted something i could setup, hit record, and be worry free for the next hour or recording. anybody know of software or a technique to use on a laptop to allow for this long of recording with no trouble? I use n-track, might get mackie's tracktion, but i dont know.

since you have a laptop why don't you just bring it? THen you will have 8 tracks to work with latter like you want. Plus, it's free because you already have it.
I don't know what will be going into consol/PA so I can't help you with configureation. But, I would try to work in a pair of room mics out in the audience for ambience/reverb.
