| optimally, you'd have to have a separate channel MICing the crowd. are you going to be behind the dj booth or in the crowd? |

ok let's say I'm goign to be Djing, behind the booth.
The most common setup I get to use in live perfromances are a pair of CDJ-1000 and a Pioneer DJM-600.
lets say I'm using channel 1 and 2 for the CDJ's.
should I connect a Microhpone on channel 3?
that will do the job? |

lol, i cant do that, i would plug a computer direct to the mixer if i could but i cant, im gonna be in the crowd, any ideas to record it?
I know total recorder is the way to record audio comming from streams but i dont think so there will be a stream so i cant use that option... |

I have no idea how they throw in the crowd sound without utterly ing everything up in the audio quality...
by the way, paul wouldn't let you put in computer or record on his mixer to record his set would he?
did u pre-arrange something? |

nay... cuz then youd get the sound of the crowd coming out of the main output... my thoughts are that that would be weird...
my thoughts would be to mix in the microphone with the record output...
so... get a little mixer, and put the record out from the main mixer on ch 1, and a mic on ch 2...
edit: errr... theoretically. my guess is that if youre going to be in the crowd, just hope that someone else records it properly... but you can try your luck with some type of personal recorder (if thats even allowed in the venue) |

1) Just because you're recording the mic, doesn't mean it has to be outputted into the main out. If you're recording on a laptop, setup a separate channel in your recording software and set your sound card to record to that channel but don't route it to any outputs.
2) If you're going to be using a separate recording device, then there is no way to control the mic input of the audience, so to get the best recording, you'd want to have a laptop setup behind the DJ booth recording the actual mix and the audience separately.
3) If you're actually IN the audience, well... take a personal recorder and just stick it out. You'll get really ty sound quality due to the overwhelming reverb of the room, plus the massive bass that's going to rock the microphone, but hey, better than nothing if you really want to do that. It's also possible that if the staff sees you doing this, they'll tell you to stop. If you're recording behind the DJ decks, well, most will assume you have the authority to do so at that point.
Have fun!! |

This is a totally pointless conversation about doing something totally pointless.
Q) Why would you record a PvD set?
A) So you could listen to and enjoy it again after the event.
Well if you're going to be recording it in the crowd the finished product will sound worse than a really really badly ripped MP3. It will sound atrocious.
And whats more, the whole process of recording will interfere with you enjoying the live show.
Forget it.
