thanks for the responses, but I need some multi track examples please


Recommended Posts

Thanks to all who have responded to my inquiries about portable recording experiences. I can't tell you how helpful, and in many cases, amusing the stories were. However, I am realy looking for poeple who have gone out into the field with multi-track rigs (like a Mac Powerbook with Logic or Protools and a few mics). If you have any experience of your own or know of anyone involved in such work, please let me know. PS: This is all in the name of research as I am currently writing a dissertation on Portable multi-track recording technology. Thanks again, Jeff Yellen Third Year Sound Tech.

The group I play with in Germany, Rei$$dorf Force, often carries around a Roland VS-1880 (I think it's that one, it may be a different model) to record live gigs. Reinhard Schmitz wrote an article about using it live in EQ several months ago. They like using the Roland because it's self-contained, reliable, and sounds good...more convenient than carrying around something that requires a CRT, or has the fragility of the typical laptop. These kinds of gigs are VERY hard on gear.

I made a recording of Jazz Guitarist Grant Green Jr. in NYC's Zinc Bar. I used a Mackie 1604 VLZ and a Tascam DA-88 to record the Guitar. Organ and Drum Trio with eight microphones. I used two Schoeps condensors on the kit overhead with an RE-20 for the kick and an SM-57 for the snare, The Guitar amp had a Sennheiser 421 and the organ amp used another RE-20. I also had two Crown PZM mics taped on the wall of the club opposite the stage. I used the direct outs from the Mackie to go to the DA-88 and the DA-88 outputs fed the remaning channels of the mixer. The tape was later mixed on an SSL console and the results were very good. Recently I have been doing some recordings of Classical chamber groups on location. I have been using a Neumann SM-60 Stereo mic directly to a Studer DAT machine with a Marantz CD Recorder as a backup. The recordings are then transferred to a DAW running Wavelab for editing and CD mastering. I have another recording scheduled for next week. This will be a choral session. I will be using the Studer DAT but I plan on using a Laptop PC which has an RME Hammerfall DSP card and a Digiface box. I will record directly into Wavelab this time and the DAT will be the backup. My friend Paul Jackson the fusion bassist has been using a Yamaha AW-4416 for his live recordings of his band recently. He transfers these recordings to his ProTools rig in his home studio for editing and mixing. ------------------ Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd.
