It was a spontaneous decision to record the show, which was taking place in a college. The gig was 30-40 minute sets from three bands and a solo artist. With 12 mixes, there were more than enough outputs available, particularly in combination with mic inputs on the interface for mics which weren’t needed in the PA mix such as the drum overheads - the venue was small enough for an acoustic kit with just kick and snare through the PA. The monitor board didn’t feature direct outs on its input channels so outputs had to be appropriated from elsewhere. By running monitors from FOH, the monitor board could be repurposed to provide discrete outputs to the recording system. This system isn’t set up with multitrack capture in mind but the monitor board has a built-in passive mic splitter. The six monitor mixes can be controlled from FOH or the monitor position and either configuration is quickly configurable via an XLR patchbay at the monitor position. The venue is all analogue with a Midas Verona at FOH and an Allen and Heath Mixwizard 12M monitor board.
