here's an example of an audience recording I made:

The quality is amazing, I could almost feel being in the arena
I love it !

No live recording, not even an official, can ever capture the experience of being at a concert.

Oh yeah, ain't that the truth! A recording is second best.

It often gets bad because a big risk is that mics are cracking in the very loud PA sound...maybe one could put some damping material on the mic?

[Dr_Jones]

I can turn the recording volume down if needed.

It would be great if there's gonna be a soundboard recording of each gig. That would be perfect actually.

[dvdborn]

I wish that Jean-Michel Jarre would sell a recording of each concert in the same way that Dead Can Dance did on their latest tour.

See this site if you don't know what I mean: http://www.dcddiscs.com

He even doesn't have to release them on CD. Just sell them on iTunes like he did with the Bourges concert.

That way I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of recording the concert myself.

nice guys, to all the fans that are going to made personnal recordings, please contact me, i can host your video or audio files to share with everyone.. remember that.. and , dont worry about having permission to record the shows, just put the camera or recorder on your balls.. im sure nobody will search there..

[Kanta]

LOL. Maybe, no one will search but you sure would great strange looks. Unless you wear loose fitting clothing.

@ Dr Jones' recording; the quality is quite nice (no distortions, sound is acceptabily clear), but I'm with Andro here that I won't save this kind of recordings to my hdd, mainly because the live mixing you hear is completely different from cd mixing, which makes it quite annoying for the ears. It's not for nothing that live recordings always are recorded via the direct outs of the mixing desk, so they can remix them in the studio afterwards.

[Nico_Noyau]

Yeah, but it's better to keep the same mix as during the concert, this way you remember the concert, the emotion and all !

[Dr_Jones]

Plus the things you said during the concert.

[Nico_Noyau]

That's the reason why we should't give a mic to Oliver

:faRRRRt:

Then you'll have to playback the song at 100 dB too, otherwise you'll hear no hi or lo-end at all
