On the issue of desirable quality pristine recording functionI am in diress (or some choice descriptive), so my being able to blame any didos* present in my recorded audio will have been already eliminated before-hand, but I still am asking what anyone may be able to tell me.

I know a big part of this job is going out and seeing live bands, but a few times I've gone to see some random bands and I end up liking one or two of them enough to have the desire to bring them in to a studio and work with them.

Hi folks!
As some folks have PM at several forums, just PM if you would like to receive a few TC MASTER X 5 band pre-sets.
Of course it will always depend on your musical content, but they can be useful for starting sketches.

I need to record a recital for a rock n' roll ensemble in a bar situation for a music school. I'm doing this for free to get my name out there. I was planning on using a XY stereo setup centered between the mains and in the middle of the room. Is this a good approach? Suggestions Please!

I have a session coming up and it is the biggest one I've had so far. My big problem is that I am using only the 4 buses off my mixer into my computer but the band Im recording wants to do everything live, without overdubs. this would be fine if it was a smaller band but I need to mic drums (4 mics) a keyboard, guitar, bass, and vocals. I was wondering how i should go about it.

I am recording my son's HS Jazz Band concert. Instrumentation is pretty typical: 5 saxes, 4 bones, 4 trpts, piano, bass, drums, & 3 vocals. I would like to provide a recording (CD) to raise funds for the band. What set-up and mix-down considerations will help yield a decent product?

Hello all.

If anyone has any advice, I'd be most appreciative in advance.

I'll be recording a theatre performance, 4 singers and a band. All the instruments and singers will be miked and going through a Mackie SR 24x4 board.

Since I don't have much experience with live boards, these are my questions:
