Newbie On Board! ( Question For Kurt)

Hi,I'm actually just coming on board, but been browsing awhile! You all do a great job. Question: I do a lot of direct injection recording, midi etc. Basically the only purpose I use a mic for at this time is vocals and occassional acoustic guitar. I have this theory ( don't know if it's rational) to try and use the best DI's I can afford.

Another Word Clock Question.

Is a distribution box preferrable in a situation where I chain my word clock this way :

(AD-16x WC out) > (DA-16x WC in) > (DA-16x WC out) > (MOTU 2408 WC in)

...where I import the digital output of the AD-16x via the 2408's ADAT inputs and likewise take the ADAT outputs of the 2408 and send them to the inputs of the DA-16x?

Recording a piano concerto - well above the head

So,
still reeling from the experience a month later. I'll try to post a few bits here and there of my experience, hopefully for your amusement. As I have thought about doing this for a while, I guess I'll just start here and see how much I can manage to make into the first posting.

So here it is.

Setup time crazies

Many of my classical/ early music projects are done in churches. I have found that setup time at these venues is often very very tight. Moreover, 'teardown and get out time' can also be quite a challenge. Sometimes I think that the mark of a real professional location recordist is if they can get out after the show fast enough to avoid pissing off the custodian of the venue!
