Recording a set at a club (esp. Diggers tour)

[WilDFire]

Hi gang. How does one go about this? Rather than relying upon the ever-so reliable [ms] crew, I figured it's time to become proactive. I think a friend has a recorder - but wouldn't it be sweet if you could record onto your ipod?

Anyway - what do you do? I find it hard to believe you can just walk up and plug into a mixer.

Cheers,

I remember a thread about this a loooooooooooooooooong time ago... MS 1 for sure... wish we would still have access to that stuff!

Well dare I say some folks in the know should pony up so all of diggers' minions can become recording fiends.

1. get digweed's permission

2. plug into the mixer/soundboard

3. yay.

I doubt you'll get past step one.

^ 1 1/2. get the club's permission?

[WilDFire]

Indeed. But some enterprising person clearly circumvented step one and produced the Beirut set, didn't they? How do you suppose they recorded that one?

I saw someone walk up to the mixer before Lavelle's set was over and plug a sony thing into the Xone right before james Holden went on; HOWEVER good luck getting anywhere near the mixer when diggers is playing. You can try and get the soundboard guy to help.

i'd love to be that asshole and just not share the set with anyone then there's no problem, right? :wink:


wildfire - i've never used a soundboard, but i'm sure you can hook gear into the soundboard to where its pretty concealed and then the dj would probably never even know. especially if the soundboard is elsewhere than the dj booth.

Beirut set was recorded and leaked by the sound guy (I think) cause nothing within visibile proximity of the DJ Booth had a recorder connected to it

-e-

[peloquin]

you could share it with me, i wouldnt tell anyone :P

[Garrick]

^^ will do... it'll be our secret. don't tell anyone.

[WilDFire]

ok - I could ask the sound guy - I think the board is upstairs in the balcony. People who are Mayan experienced - would you agree with me? Maybe it's just the light mixer...

[Garrick]

its still up to digweed. any respectable club would ask digweed before they recorded something for you. chances are digweed is going to say no, too. but shit, it never hurts to ask. tell them its for [ms] and then share
