Live Sets Recorded?

I was wondering how are live sets are recorded? Is there a way or a small device where you can recorded live sets while you're at a party or club?

probably with a laptop or something?

most live sets are recorded by the artist, club or promoter using DAT or some other professional-grade medium plugged directly into the club's soundboard or the dj's mixer.

if you want to secretly record an event yourself, the best device is a minidisc (the medium of choice for most bootleggers) or a good flash-based recorder like an edirol r1 or r-09.

Those sets are, 90+% of the time, recorded from a radio broadcast.

i'll check out more about the edirol recorder. i'm thinking about getting one so i can record sets when i go see a dj spin live.

When a set is recorded directly from the mixer/sound board, the crowd can be added by having the house mic turned on anywhere that's in a central area.

i think its sad to go to a gig to record,

you should be enjoying yourself and dance

there are so many gigs being recorded nowadays from radio broadcasts

except of perhaps mayday 2006, which went out in shitty 56kb quality

who says you can't do both? i put the md in my pocket or my girl's purse and i'm good to go - most of the time you forget it's there.

Seems like it'd be just a bit difficult to get a "superb" quality recording from something bouncing around in the pocket or purse of someone who's dancing.

most of the time I think the DJ will hook some device, sometimes a laptop (if he's recording it on the cheap) up to the mixer (they sometimes have dedicated outputs for this).

if the DJ isn't recording it, then it's probably from a mic somewhere in the club and the owner or someone with the owner's permission is.

and then there's radio.
