Live Remote Recording with Macbook Pro and Digi 003Rack

Live music recording studio remote audio I received my brand spanking new MacBook Pro just a day before the Blueskrieg Blues Night special at 19East - this is a special concert production for us coz of Binky and Lampano Alley in the artist lineup - I've always intended to record and video the gig since getting the date confirmed 10 days ago.

Anyway, I trust Mac's with ProTools so much that I went ahead with the live remote recording intent despite limited runtime with the Macbook Pro (a 2.4 Dual Core with 4Gigs of RAM). I recorded 8 tracks from the Midas Legend 3000 board's direct out...

Inside, hear the mixed audio tracks

Fire hits the studio

No, not that “fire” - but that fiery FIREBOTTLE blues band fronted by Joric Maglanque AKA DELTA SLIM - a self confessed soul dredger, err, soul bender - one of the few local ambassadors of blues music (don’t even bring up blues in a conversation unless you are ready to sit for a blues history lesson - LOL).
