Live Recording

Wed. March 26, 2008 Does anyone have any tips on getting a good live recording? We have a Boss BR-1600, a micro BR, and are in the process of setting up a MAC Pro with Pro Tools(i think?). We have some good condenser mics along with AT's, 57's, Beta58's and the like.

Last night i set the Micro BR in the middle of the barn at practice and got a decent recording. ("Must Be Doin Somethin Right" on our player) I plan to tweak this method a little next time. I think I was too close to the monitor.

I may also try running a couple condensers through the 1600 some time just to see how that works.

I have tried pulling a signal off of the board before, but our bass player drives so much through his on stage rig that his signal through the mix is pretty weak. (Bass players!)

I would love to get a mix of the board and room sound but every option so far has seemed to complicated. I am thinking that i need to go back to something simple and straight forward.

What has worked good for you?
