Hey guys,
I just learned a minute ago that two days from now I'll have to record a live gig of a band but I've never done that before and I'm quite worried about it. I hope to have enough ins in my gear for it, but since I know nothing about the mixing console there will be at my disposal, I'm wondering if I should use my preamps and send them line outs to the console or use some outs of the console (what kind ?) to get into the card. Obviously going to the console first would be more secure for the gig (if my computer dies, at least there will still be some sound for the audience !) but not for the live recording...
Does anyone here have any experience with that ? I'm quite in a hurry for this and under a bit of stress ! (aaaaargh !!!)
Thanks in advance !
