So some issues tonight.
After realised one of the jack to jack's wasnt working properly the entire time and doing some detective work we swapped it out.
Recorded 16 channels at 44.1 hTz same as previous night.
However, at the end of the performance, mains got switched off before any of the recording equipment.
Alesis didnt like it and chewed up the recording.
Trying to get whatever data from the hard drive we can but might not be enough.
Typical...

Did You Know
How much money this project is costing me???!!! If I want to rent the Alesis HHD for a day is £80 and for a week its £220! The MOTU is even more expensive!
On top of that I have to take ridiculous amounts of gear.
I mean I knew this was gonna be tough but realy?!
I give up...

Setting Up
So trying to set up for the first show of the year and I've been struggling for weeks to try to work out a way to record and tonight I might've cracked it. Either the MOTU 24 or the Alesis 24HD. Hoping to go for the Alesis to be honest as it seems like the easier one as on my PC I dont have a spare PCI slot so a new machine would have to be built for me whereas with the Alesis the data can be recorded straight to the hard drive and then transferred via ethernet :D Seems liek the best way really.
