| I regularly record live gigs and i have had so many bad experiences its untrue. I have an hd24 that has let me down more times than i can remember, i have also had problems with macs and pcs. When recording really loud stuff in a resonant room the Disk has real probs recording, i have resorted to recording to a computer and also a tascam mx2424 and I often have to go home and pick up a couple of da38s. there is a lot to be said for DTR in the live setting, and you can get da38s for next to nothing on ebay.
I would also recommend always taking a good room mic with a 50m mic cable and a g-clap attached as a lot of the time the room mic will be in the lighting rig.
If i had the money i would for sure put together a van with a bunch of madi interfaces so as not to have to worry about the vibrations ( then all i need to wory about is someone cutting the power to the van !! ) |
