It seems every rock band records all their shows onto a multitrack format for possible future use. What is the standard format? Hard disk? ADAT? It seems that it would take a lot of Hard drives to record an entire rock tour. Also what DAW? Protools? Logic? RUSH records every show. Neil Peart alone has over 20+ channels to himself. Include vocals, sound effects, Guitars, audience mics...that's a lot of channels. Do the bands take an arsenal of hard drives with them? Please let me know...just curious
