Live Sound: Blurring The Line: The Evolution Of Live Recording In The Digital Era

Pro Sound Web: I’ve made a living for 30 years as a recording mix engineer, a live mix engineer, and more recently, as a record producer.
In addition to engineering and co-producing a number of records - including multiple Grammy Award nominees - that were recorded live to multi-track while I was mixing front of house, I also edited, mixed, and assembled the final products.

Having run sound for many shows and concerts in the past there have been times that I have been asked to send a feed to a recorder to record the show. Having this experience I know that there are some hardships with doing this seemingly simple task. For one, in my experience, especially with sending an audio feed to a video recording engineer, it is very hard to pay attention to mixing for the house as well as mixing for the recording. For me personally when I am front of house I tend to mix more to the needs of the house, which is my job when I am in this position. Also i know that at times it can be difficult to get clean signal through a mic that is not isolated to pick up only the instrument or vocal mic that is on a stage with loud surroundings.
