[Harp-L] recording gigs rig

Hey list,
 
A while back I wrote that I would post a review of of the  Gigatracker 
recorder I bought from from The Sound Professionals .

I've used this unit to record 6 or 7 rehearsals & three gigs. I am VERY  
happy with it. The tiny stereo pre-amp is amazing. The optional  stereo mic  I 
bought with the unit was unsatifactory, so I got a couple AKG c1000s mics that  
really improved the sound. I am still learning how to best place the mics, but  
for ease of operation & recording fidelity, this little thing is  fantastic!  
If I could just eliminate the loud drunks in the audience, I'd  have CD 
quality recordings. Of course, if I eliminated loud drunks from our  audience, we'd 
lose half our fan base. 
Recording all our gigs has been eye ( or, I guess, ear) opening.  It is 
making me a better player. Stuff I thought was challenging &  cool doesn't come 
across as well live, stuff I think of as easy & boring  often sounds great. 
Live & learn.
We have live recordings of some of our tunes up on our website. The latest  
stuff was recorded with the Gigatracker. Check it out.  

Later,
Rosco
