Live Recording Newbie, where do I put the mics?

Hello:

My church group will be playing at a college gym with 1000+ people in attendance. I would like to get a "good" recording of our performances but have limited equipment and an even more limited budget. I have 2 Beheringer C-2 Condensor mics, and Alesis 8 track mixer and my laptop with firewire interface box running cubase.

some tips on how to mix live drums tracks

hello. Having used drums samples and loops so far, now i am diving into a project where i have to mix real live drums recorded in a studio. The separate tracks comprise. as usual, snare, kick, toms, hihat, n.2 OH, and Figure-eight takes. Before getting into an uncontrollable mess, does anybody have some tips on how to start with it?

Live show surface solutions

It's time to address the problem with setting up gear for shows. Until now, we've always relied on whatever was available at a venue-a table, some chairs, that box, the floor. Not safe and definitely not fun. I can't count how many times I've had to play on little tables that don't even come up to my waist. 45 minutes of that is murder on your back. We need to solve this issue.
