06 · Notes
We try to record every performance for content and our archive. On an X32 or M32 desk we capture a full multitrack over AES50 with no disruption to your engineer: one cable, about 30 seconds to set up. Otherwise, could we take a multitrack off your desk? We'll have a MacBook and several memory/USB cards. We'd also like one static camera on a tripod covering the full stage (85mm lens).
We're happy to send a virtual soundcheck file in advance: a multitrack of a full song your engineer can load into the desk to set levels before we arrive. It cuts soundcheck time a lot.
