Live rock/blues/jazz recording? Can anyone describe their experiences getting recordings in a club atmosphere (with audience and clinking Budweiser everywhere)?

Run a dedicated Mic preamp to the stage. If you don't want to be that obvious and/or need to be Surreptitious about your recording. It'll be an audiophile clink and cough-a-thon. But look on the bright side, 30 years ago, Harry Pearson wandered aloud about the subways going underneath Kingsway Hall and the world of Hi-Fi was never the same........

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

Works well. I have recorded a gig, chopped up the recording on the computer and made a playable C D

yes, and quite good one. It is especially good for interviews, recording concerts, musical bands, etc. I recommend to check on youtube.

I just used it to record a live band. I had the video camcorder and the Roland recording. I set it on a mike stand and put the audio limiter on low. It did a fantastic job. I let the auto gain adjust set the level and away it went. No distortion in my recording

Gregory: I think the free trial is a great idea on Pandora's part- I know that it is worth it to me to continue. Iespecially like how you can create your own stations so easily. Or you can find others that have been seeded for you-Blue Note records has seeded several jazz stations that are fantastic.How will I know when the time is up- will the Pandora simply stop working?Chuck

Yes, it records exactly the way the record sounds. However, there is a way to try to fix this. You can load a freeware program called "Audacity" which has a scratch and pop remover. It will help some, but you have to do one track at a time and then save them and then burn a new CD from your 'fixed' tracks. It will not make it sound brand new, but it can help on many recordings. Good luck.

I'm not quite sure what you mean...but, here's a few things I've learned using this live. If your gigs are effects heavy, take time to create/design presets beforehand and set them to memory on the pedal. That way you can easily switch between them as the show goes.

i found the best setup is--from your interface(the box that comes with your recording software) into a TUBE preamp(arc, prosonus) then into a compressor(this is essential for controlling the input/volume so you do not peak while recording) of your choice(i use one called "a really nice compressor" from the u.s of a) then into your lovely mic and away you go. ps. make sure you use the instrument input on your interface, from the pre-amp

I use the R24 to record live shows all the time. I use "Y" connectors/ splitters to take the signal off ahead of my board (as I don't have direct outs from my mixer/amp). This approach also gives me the advantage of being completely independent of the trim levels on the board. You can either mix down from the board or (what I do), import the audio files into Audacity or Logic Express (or any other sound editor) and mix from there. Feel free to check out youtube: LimeyInSD for videos wherefor about 1 year I've used the R24 to record the audio for about 1 and sync'd the results up with video footage to get an idea. Alternatively wolfflive.com and drivineast.com will get you to the same videos (possibly more efficiently). Good luck!

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

Yes. I listen to a lot of live recordings in which one song seamlessly continues into another. Even with mp3s I don't get an actual gap - more like a slight bump going from one into another.

I think this would be a great mic for live performance, as far as on-camera mics go. Better than a shotgun because with this mic you'll get sound from the whole room, not just whatever you're pointed at. However for a live performance I'd definitely try to record from the audio soundboard - then you can sync up your camera with the audio recording and have the best of both.

We purchased a Mac and use Garage Band to do our recordings. You can get a refurbished Mac for just a few hundred dollars and the Garage Band software will probably already be installed on it.

Yes, I have recorded from the FM tuner several times. I attend conventions throughout the year and record from an FM station. The lecture goes right into the recorder (radio folder). It's as if the speaker was talking right into the recorder. Love it!

Yes...Do note that some spots in the venue will have better results. I would try M/S Raw mode @ 96khz/24bit (H2n) & mix the ambient/direct mix later for best results...
