A couple of friends of mine have a movie studio, and they record alot of videos for bands, and alot of those are live gigs. But they always have the problem of recording sound for the videos. Usually the do something like recording straight from the master on the mixer, and that more often than not sounds kinda crap.
So I wanted to help them out, maybe start working for them as a live AE, but I don't know the first thing about live recording. How do most people do it? What kind of gear do you need? Do you record to a laptop, tape, what?
I was thinking getting DI's for every stringed instrument as a starting point. But what about drums, incase you would want to trigger later on? How do the pros do it?
