I wonder how much is it real in that clip of Bonde....cause big live shows like graspop, wacken and so are not the best places to hear the bands, I´d say it´s unfair to them because of external things such as wind, echoes, etc etc.
The fact is that next week I´m going to record (and then mix and mastering) the most important gig in my life, it´s about a PanterA fest, the venue is sold out so I feel the pressure for make a good job. I wonder how the pros, like Mr Sneap face these projects. The fact is I won´t bring any mike, and the sound engineer of the venue will give me only lines. So with 16 tracks I must to do a great job. When a pro band like Exodus, Chimaira, and so wants to realise a live show dvd, do they take a expecific engineer who brings their equiptment, preamps, compressor, double mikes (one for PA, and another for record) or not, cause I´m quite lost whit that. Do they record DI´s from guitars and bass and then reamp??? Sorry for the sermon and the offtopic.
