 Recording
live performances has always been something Dave has liked to do,
both to study and analyze as a practice tool, and to document
performances. In the past, portable DAT machines or Mini Disk
units had to suffice. But today’s technology allows for a few more
alternatives, allowing quick two track recordings that can go
straight to an iPod, or multi-track recordings to a laptop with
ease - something really not feasible...until now.
Dave uses two pieces
of M-Audio gear to accomplish those needs. When short on time, and
wanting just to get it recorded with minimum set up and hassle,
the MicroTrack mp3 recorder is his choice. Whether using it with
the included mic or straight off either Dave’s mixer or front of
house, it’s awesome!
There are those times, though, that a multi track recording, to be
mixed later, is desired. With the 1814 FireWire M-Audio box, it’s
very easy! Dave uses a Yamaha 01v96 digital mixer, both as his
monitor desk, and to provide FOH with a stereo drum mix. It also
has a light pipe output (allowing 8 assignable separate outs),
that are assigned to go out to the 1814 M-Audio box. The rest of
the inputs are analog (8 more possible!)
With M-Powered Pro
Tools on the laptop, the process is easy, with great results!
(click on any QT file to hear for yourself!) Via FireWire, Dave's
Powerbook G4, using the M-Audio program, sets up the outputs
through it's 'mixer' page, then inputs are assigned in PT coming
from the 1814, so it allows Dave to have stereo drums and everyone
else separate.
