I just purchased the Yamaha AW1600 workstation.I would like to take it around to record bands (a mobile studio of sorts to help pay for this thing).This unit can record 8 simultaneous tracks.If I just mike the room with 8 mikes,I would get a good 'Live' sound?and if so,type of mikes should I buy ?

:?:

would love to know people's tips for mastering live acoustic recordings. i run acoustic gigs in london, record people's sets then mix them either on the Yamaha AW16G i record them on, or take the recordings into Cubase and Audition to have more of a play with.

hi

I'm interested in live recording, and the first to came to my mind was to buy
a multitrack recorder that can give you the option to record simultaniously at least 20 tracks.

my idea its to record it completely raw and then load it in my home studio trough my preamp and then to the desktop 8 ch at a time.

Hello all.

I recorded a live gig on a laptop using an echo indigo card with Tracktion to an external hard drive, which I believe is formated to FAT32 as opposed to the laptop - a windows XP machine.

Hi folks, sorry for the long post - I'm seeking some specific advice from more experienced engineers which I haven't been able to find so far in these forums.

I am a musician who currently does a lot of home recording and mixing but am looking to get into location recording of small group jazz gigs (mainly in clubs).

Ok guys I need a little advice.

I was just hired to record a live Native American (politically correct) Pow Wow. (Don’t ask me how I got this job, as these guys are like 13 hours away from me)

Okay, now that I'm re-familiarizing myself with my new (eBay new that is) Pioneer RT-909 and loving it, one thing that's great about this R2R is when I've got it in pause mode and if I hand-turn the reels forward or back I can still hear the sound on the tape when I'm monitoring the tape (i.e., having the source button toggled to tape vs source).

Hi,

Greetings!

We are in need of live wireless vocal mics. We have a group that sings two-three times a week at our church and they normally have six or seven vocalists.

Right now they drag cables across the stage and things get bunched up, not to mention some of our microphones are on their last legs.

trying to decide which to go with for use with a minidisc recorder - the Sony electret condensor mic or ECM-MS907. The first is much smaller but not digital, which is appealing, but I'm wondering if it would record well. Thanks!
