Yes, indeed Jay,

In the world of remote recording, you are as good as your last gig. Many folks don't realize this fact until it's too late, then you're buying their rig on "eBay" or something.

Remember, backups are everything in this arena. Sometimes you really need three of everything. A backup for the main unit and a backup for the backup...

Yes, prep work is the secret weapon against potential problems out of the gate. Having a crew that watches your back is also key to live recording success.
