Hello,
I record music that is played live with musicians and a full band. I am wondering what the procedure is for using a DAT to run backup samples/keyboards/etc. live. That is, how to have a MIDI click track set up on one DAT track for the drummer and the rest of the instruments running live to the P.A., all synced-up and sounding right.
Currently, I am using a Roland hard disc recorder for this purpose (with built-in MIDI click capabilities.) The drummer hears the click track to stay on time, and the background music that isn't being played live is broadcast to the sound system. Works very well ... however, the concern is that the hard drive will fail, so I'd like to get our set lists on DAT tapes (more reliable).
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers!
