Live Recording, How to record from soundboard to ... Options

[aloko]

Hi all,

I did a search but couldnt find any appropriate answer to my question.

I'm going on tour and I'd like to record from soundboard directly to my PB G4, what do I need as connectors and as software.

I use PEAK 3.2 and input from RCA jack to my Powerbook input until now but sometimes the sound enginners dont have any RCA/ CINCH output from the soundboard.
thats why I'm looking for another example here.

thanks for your answers,
Dimitri.

Are you wanting to record mutlitrack or just record the main channel out? For mutlitrack you'll have to use something like the MOTU piece. If you just want to get the main channel then you can get something like the M-Audio Firewire 410 or an Audiophile. The thing about recording the main mix out of the board is that sometimes it really doesn't sound that good. If it's a small venue they won't run some of the instruments through the board (drums, guitar, bass) so you'll be missing that in your recording. In that case you'll want to just set up 2 ambient microphones. If it's a large venue then you might get a good mix out of the board.
