Topic: Good B&P Instruction Recommendations?

[chuckcage]

Everyone:

OK, so I ended up with an excellent recording of Galactic this weekend and had a few people take an email for B&Ps.

Now the fun part.  Could anyone post/point-me-to some good B&P instructions which I can adjust for my tastes?  I'm trying to make sure I get all the important stuff covered so this is a good experience for everyone.

Wow -- Galactic was smokin'.  The only real downer of the night was when they brought out strippers who took a little too much off.  (Ok, I know a lot of you are thinking, "And that's a bad thing?"  I don't have any problem with it in of itself; It just was a bummer for the female fans and/or people who came to the show expecting something other than a strip show.)  The music was unbelievable, though.

Tks in advance for advice!
Chuck

Got my first reply from addresses I gave out at Galactic and used everyone's advice.  Just thought I'd show how my first B&P from the back side of the recording rig went down (so far):

Sure.  You're in IT in Houston, right?

The recording came out quite well, and I've got it tracked and ready to go.
 
You won't be sending me a check.  Instead, you'll send an envelope containing an SASE with your discs in it.  I'll burn the show on them, throw away the outside envelope, and drop the discs in the inner one back in the mail where your attached postage will carry it back to you.  

Don't worry.  It's simpler than it sounds.  The following link explains in detail (w/pictures!) how B&Ps work:

(The cool thing about understanding the B&P process is that afterwards you can look around online and get lots of other shows this way.  It's a pretty standard way of doing things.)

This show fits on two 80 minute discs (actually one 74 and one 80), and my burner seems to like most discs except Imations.  I personally use TDK 80s from which I've had no coasters at all.  It helps if you include a little note letting me know which show I'm burning for you.

Actually, I have an ass-kicking recording of That 1 Guy and Drums and Tuba -- the openers -- from their gig in Dallas a few days later.  If you'd like that, too, just add two more 74 (or 80) minute discs (for a total of four) and I'd be happy to burn them for you, too.  That 1 Guy is unbelievable.  His show in Dallas was smokin'. D&T has high points, but gets a bit monotonous for my ears.

Thanks for all the help.  I'll get this down yet.  I've said before that had no idea how much I'd enjoy listening to my own shows.  I also had no idea how cool it would be to share them.

That should be a thread and a link in our archive.
I get asked fairly often about b&p instructions.
Do us the honor please.

Done.
