[QUOTE="JonnyP, post: 883870, member: 17918"] Digital doesn?t really come into it. Live, you are running multiple tracks through a mixing board ie. Guitars, keyboards, vocals and individual drums with everything through microphones (note the mics in front of the guitar amps for example). Alternately, feeds from some of the kit may be feeding direct to the desk but mics are still used for vocals and drums at the least. This is then mixed at the desk and a line out can be used to record either digitally or (back in the day) analogue. When I crewed gigs we often asked the desk tech if we could record the gig (many come with a tape deck which they may use to playback to improve later). Depending upon the band/management etc it was possible at times. If recording for a live album, individual or mixed tracks would be used onto reel to reel (presumably now digital) and mixed later. One major exception to this are bootlegs which are usually someone in the audience recording to a single cassette or reel player. The internet archive has some great examples of what can be possible if you synchronize multiple position tapes at a gig, play with phases and overdub from other sources in synch with Grateful Dead boots. The 1970 Fillmore show I downloaded is pretty much 5.1 surround all from reel to reel fan recordings. Ultimately, once there is a final master that is the one cut through the usual processes (as are all recordings analogue or digital) [/QUOTE]
