I wanna hear some live recordings

Don't have a video, but:

Erik Paliani - Toto Ife (live)

This was a live recording done at the South African State Theatre of musician/producer Erik Paliani and band. I used a Yamaha 01V and an RME Fireface 800 with additional preamps being fed into the line ins from a DDA CS8 console. I think it totaled about 20 inputs. Mics used were just whatever they had available at the theatre, mostly Shure. I think it was even the crappy PG series on the drums.

Pardon the otherwise questionable mp3.

Enjoy.
 


no video - this was from a jazz music religious service I recorded a couple of years ago. I'll have to remember what was going on

This is a live recording I made of the London Klezmer Quartet at St George's Church, Hobart last week.

All instruments go into the desk via DI, plus there are four open vocal mikes (SM58) (no vox on this track though).

Recorded off the desk (eight direct outs) via Reaper & Firepod.

I was happy with clarinet and accordian, not so much with bass and violin.

++ Edit ++

I should note that my brief wasn't to do a live recording. I was just doing sound for them. But I liked their music, and I thought it would be interesting to do a recording at the same time. If the brief had been to do a recording, I would have have miked up violin and bass.

Very good Gecko! Real gypsy music.

Ziggy Wild live - Noortebänd 2013 finaal - YouTube
I actually know as much how this piece was recorded as you can see from the video - I got the stems and mixed the song starting @ 7.33

SWÄRK SESSIONS: Slippery Slope - Careful - YouTube
Although this video is comped from many takes the audio is recorded live at location (it was a small coffe shop,we could not turn off AC and traffic was just on the other side of the wall :D) as one take. No mics were allowed to be seen. You can imagine it was a bit of an headache. :P
I had pair of c414 which I used in XY to capture overall sound, one original CAD E100 pointing at guitar bridge, 421 in front of cajon and Sennheiser boom mic (don't really know which model). You can see the boom's shadow near the singers neck on closeups. :)

I've got about a half zillion classical recordings, but the rockin' stuff is more fun --

(It's an edited short for lack of a better term) http://www.massivemastering.com/special/LiveRecording.m3u

Gear? Mostly a bunch of typical crap. 57's on the guitars, 504's on the toms, 81's overhead, 57 snare / hat, dual DI on the bass. It's an aux mix -- Aux 3 was left, aux 4 was right -- so panning was "manual" (again, lack of a better term). PITA on the toms and what not... Board was an old, noisy A&H GL2200. Aux outputs ran to a 2-channel Apogee MiniMe USB interface.

5 minutes to put the whole thing together while in the room (a theatre) on headphones (hence the light bass). The hat is actually screaming through the floor wedge.

Levels aside, that's what happens when the band has their (stuff) together.

Even still. That was a good recording, Massive.
Great band.

Really nice, Mo Facta!
That snare or timbale really punches through.
 
This is a free-form jam/warm-up with 2 drummers, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards & bass. Bass and acoustic were D/Ied to the board (Neotek), elec. guitar and keys miked with Fostex M11RP ("printed ribbons"), one drum kit had a Lucas CS-1 OH and RE20 on kick, the other had AKG C426b OH and Soundelux iFet7 on kick. No processing, just "faders up".

Faders up and warp 9. Good separation there Scott. Being that there was so much going on.
 
I can't even see the keyboardist! Is he behind the guitarist/singer?

Who was that two foot tall guest female vocalist?
