Got a cool gig recording a High School band, not like a band band but you know with fucking trombones and French horns and clarinets n shit?, the other night. I'm actually surprised at how it came out, czech eet owt:

Oh and a pic of my view from the FOH position on the balcony for teh lulz:
(sorry for shit phone cam quality)
It was super easy. Anybody with a laptop, a few condensors (even just two would work) and an interface, of course, should try to contact high schools in their area to do this sort of thing. I had 2 mics on stage (one left, one right, about ~70 ft apart) and 3 mics on the balcony (~30 ft apart from each other, over ~80ft total spread, the balcony was close to 100ft away from the stage) all going into the Soundcraft mixer they had already. I just went direct out of their board into my 8Pre and hit record, really easy. All I had to do was align the tracks (varying distances from the source will add lots of delay obviously) and add a smidge of EQ, limiter on the 2bus and it's done. I made over $150/hour that night
