Thats quite an assumption! Considering you have no idea what I have or have used. I could sit here and name them all, and Im sure at the same time put to rest any notion that I have been using "lame ass boards", but I really cant be fucked.

I should have said in my earlier post that most LIVE mixers (like the Mackies tend to be) have the direct outs post fade/EQ/Insert.

Good luck!

:)

Hey Jasedee -

I mis-read your post and there was no reason for me to say you were using some lame ass boards....

Sorry for the comment about you using lame ass boards

No probs!

I had this exact problem the other night, we were asked to record a funk/RnB band on short notice, so had no time for planning, and had to take the signal from the Direct outs on the board. Of course, this was post fade/EQ/Inserts, so all of the FOH engineers EQ's, compressions, and fader moves were recorded too!

I must say, this sucked. At times, because the bass was so loud, he would pull the bass fader down, sometimes completely off, which really screwed us. I had to go tell him to just take the damn channel of the master buss instead of turn it all the way down and fuck up our recording.

We need to get a 1 in 2 out stage box so we are completely independant of FOH....

I like the Nord best

if you want gritty dirty hard trance get the nord 8)

if you want happy comercial sounding trance get the supanova
