i saw it if you mentioned DAWs or back-up recorders. come to think of it, do you have a back-up console in case your main one shits the bed?

I personally don't record anything no. I know some guys have crowd loops that they have recorded in the past that they may use to enhance a broadcast if the crowd is weak, but it honestly happens pretty rarely as far as i know.
Some use a DAW for 5.1 music playback actually. There is also a pro hardware/software combo for music playback that uses a DAW type setup. It's called DAD.
No backup console no. There is no room on the trucks.. they are pretty full as it is. The nice thing about the Calrec consoles is that they have a number of things that could potentially fail and the console would still work. Being software based, the computer could crash and the console would still function as (almost) normal. Some of the older trucks with analog consoles do have a small mixer built into the racks for submixes that i suppose could be used as a backup should the main one fail. You would need to spend a few minutes patching things over though..
