Hi and thanks for giving me valuable advice
following me in my strange ramblings
Clearly i was not considering the quota of direct sound that reaches the listener and that is added to the signal from the speakers
Still i wonder how they make live recordings in jazz club like the Jazz at the Pawnshop ... i would be curious to know the technique used
From the mixing desk or with mics in the room ?
An excellent recording that i do not like very much, Take five apart
of which i have found a video quite well recorded (in the link)
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Hi Beppe,
Good recordings made at live events are "generally" not the same feed which is sent to the P.A. At least at major pro performances.
Now I'm going to ask you to buy a CD. Go to RogerIngram.com and buy his new CD. (Tell him Dave sent you.) It's only 6 tracks, and there IS a "room sound", but it's excellent music, excellent performance, and the recording quality is great!
Y'all might not know that Roger
Hi and thanks a lot again for the interesting information
I am very curiuos about live recording techniques
It is a technical challenge and very fascinating
I should have done that instead of copy and paste reports ...
The idea of capturing and event in time and put it in a cd ... wonderful.
And i am sure that the best recordings are even moving.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

Hey Beppster (may I call you Beppster?), as a musician and audio "engineer", I 'get' the issues with making a recording at a live event. :)
If the recording is made via a sound reinforcement desk, things can become a bit sticky. This really depends upon the venue, the sound tech, and the various feeds they have available - but I'm starting to repeat myself. ;)
In "smaller" venues, with good equipment and decent acoustics, a live recording from the desk can be very good, and even exceptional.
I want you to buy two recordings: The aforementioned Roger Ingram CD (and remember to say that Dave sent ya), and Eric Clapton's "One More Car, One More Driver" DVD. These are examples of great recording with and without separate feeds for the audio, and in completely different types of venues.
BTW, in my previous post, there was a "half sentence" at the end. Ha! The point was going to be that Roger was the lead trumpet for Harry Connick for like 20-25 years. Roger is a great guy, an awesome trumpet player, and extremely smart musician. This his first "solo" CD, and, even live, he didn't miss a note. Buy it - it might get me a free bottle of root beer! lol
Contrast Roger's CD with Eric's. Eric's is the whole big deal, with multi-track audio and video mixed separately for each distribution channel. I don't know Eric nor his audio crew, nor how they track/store the performance.

Hi i would prefer Beppstar but feel free to call me as you like ... you should hear how my best friends call me
I will buy the cds you mention
When i see shipping prices 3 times the value of the cds i wonder why only chinese brands have discovered free shipping
If i understand well one recording is via mixing desk while the other is more complex also with the mix of signals coming from ambient mics ?
Very interesting.
It is really an art the recording and i understand why the very good sound engineer are so famous
Nice work. Expecially for people loving music.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
