I have to run sound for a quintet. Violin, DoubleBass, Elec GTR, Acordeon(Bandoneon) and Acoustic Grand Piano.

We will be on tour in many locations around Europe and China, but first we must make some gigs at my country, Argentina.

The range of Pianos we use goes from Ronish 1/4 to Steinway 1/2.

Hey guys. i seem to be having a hard time figuring out if Ableton will be able to record all 8 tracks from my Firepod at the same time. I cant find anything about multitracking on it.

any help?

I hopefully just got a gig doing a recording of a persons 60th birthday; oddly enough, and was wondering two things. for one, what do you think they expect and for two what mic placement tips would you give so I could catch a hold of everything.

By the way, there is no PA involved.

HI

I need good live speakers for producing a powerfull and clear reproduction of live vocals & keyboards, With Drums/Guitar/Bass being played very loud (heavy metal) in a 7 meters X 4 meters unsoundproofed room.

So, my band got a live recording. Since i have pro tools i asked them if they could give me a copy of it in .ptf so i could edit, add, or just do whatever i want to it, the thing is, I'm not too good at pro tools.

Hi guys,
I'm doing my course project about live vs studio. Please help me out by answering these questions.
1. What do you think it is aesthetic of live mixing?
2. What are things you must do in order to get great live sound?
3. Live VS Studio

I'm faced with the time old question SM57's i have 3 of them i need 5 more is forking out 500 dollars or trying to negotiate price with guitar center the only option i have?

what have other people done when looking for a large quantity of good high impact microphones used mainly for live performance recording?

Right now, I have but a single piece of hardware to my name, seeking some help getting started as a live sound engineer.

I have a whole wishlist of dependable gear I'm looking at to get me started to be able to set up a gig solo, but one thing still gets me because of my inexperience in the field...

Sorry for the newbie question, but...

If I want to record my live session, what seems to work best?

1. To record the audio solely from some audience microphones?
2. To record the audio coming from the FOH mix?
3. A combination of both?

Which technique is used the most? Thanks for your input!

So I have a question:
