Re: Event Board Recording SNAFU
I had resisted posting this before, but I'll lay it out there.
Why I multi track everything: (i.e. memory is cheap)
Similar thing to the OP happened to me last month. I show up to a gig and the band says "by the way a video crew will be here to film the second set and they need a board feed......" No video sound check, middle of gig, GREAT!
I gave the video crew a monitor out, remote access to the board to mix their send and called it good. The next week I get a call from the band saying the audio was horrible. I said no prob I'll upload the individual .wav files to my google drive, you can download them and mix them however you want. Client was happy, they ended up punching some tracks and polishing to make a great finished product. Other than upload time it took me 5 minutes tops.
Didn't post this at first to avoid rubbing salt in OP's wound. But tech is cheap right now, I don't see a reason not to use it.
