Last Saturday 01 January 2005 19:27, R Parker was
like:
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.

We took the Linux multitrack recording van out for
its
maiden voyage. Duane and his partner Nip have
been
running live sound in the Minneapolis area about
the
same amount of time that my partners and I have
been
running the studio. It was about a year ago when
we
first talked about running a remote van. It was
a
great experience. Cheers to a great 2005 with
Linux
Audio.
Wish we'd had a similar recording set-up for New
Year. Hopefully I should be
able to set up an in-house system to record gigs at
my local venue in a month
(or so ;-). The top end is almost
cuttingly sharp to my ears, it sounds like you must
have had the room sound
almost perfect, or you've been up all night fixing
it.
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.
Can't say I'm a huge
fan of Zappa's lyrics although they're
slightly
improved by not having to
listen to him sing them ;-]
The difficulty I have with introducing Linux tools
into this sort of situation
(populated by Windows wide-boys and occasional anal
Mac users) is that I'm
not a technician, therefore my technical suggestions
tend to get dismissed.
Plus it would involve training someone else to use
Ardour who would rather be
using Wavelab *gnnn*. I shall persevere.
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.
