Doug, aka NoStar on irc #ardour, has an Ardour
recording setup in a venue. I don't know how long he's
been running it but it sounds to me like it's been
well recieved by the house engineers and musicians.

 Interesting sound quality on this piece.

Sorry, I have caused some confusion. That song was not
recorded at the bar. Liquor Lyles is part of the same
group of recordings that I've been posting for the
last month.

Show up as an engineer and not a musician--not at your
own jam sessions, do it for someone else. Nobody will
tell you how to do your job. Engineering live shows is
a great experience.

We're really not after the room when we do this sort
of thing. What we're doing is splitting the snake and
sending the mic sources to the house and a recording
setup. We'll use a couple "house" mics but it's only
to capture audience noise.
