Don't press stop during the recording - you're likely to miss something. Use a UPS to power the HD24 instead. Keep the HD24 away from loud sources of sound - vibration can cause disk I/O errors on any disk recorder.
Make sure that you have at least a pair of room mics. Better yet, two pairs - one to capture the audience, the other to capture the natural reverb of the room. You can augment it with digital reverb if necessary, but it sounds much more natural if you include some of the real room in the recording. |
This is the method I prefer too.
I've been having a little trouble with my HD24 cutting off in the middle of a song because of the bass vibrations you mention. I'm gonna try to get a special foam lined rack and put a piece of foam under it where it sits on the PA amp rack and then put another piece of foam on top to place the PA board on, I use the inserts on my elcheapo Mackie CFX20 directly into each channel of the HD24 and it sits on stage with us. My next puchase will probably be a FirePort and a bigger better Mac (my old G4 desktop just died) and depending on how things go with the the FirePort and the bigmac maybe a MasterLink too. I've been mixing the live stuff old school analoge with my Mackie SR24 so a MasterLink might make sense for that kind of mixing.
