I am going to run a matrix in a few weeks and want to get a plan down now.
I've got my regular aud rig and also going to be recording an analog SBD.
Should I use my JB3 with my AUD rig, or plug it into the board and use the MD for my AUD rig?
It probably doesn't make a difference, seeing that the 2 sources will be blended together.

Which source so you intend to have dominant? How is the soundboard/soundman at the venue? How chatty will the crowd be? I think most people tend to preference the sbd and use the aud source for ambience/presence/depth, unless the sbd source will be less-than-ideal. I would think putting the best equipment on the source that's going to be favored would make sense. I usually run the aud source 10-12 db lower than the sbd, if I like the board and the person operating it. Depends on the circumstances, though, and ultimately what sounds best in post.

Thanks for the help. That makes alot of sense. I haven't really done too many post-matrices, so I really don't know which source will be dominant. I've never seen the room before, and am not familiar with the sound engineer (other than what I can hear on current recordings).
I'll probably run my MD from the board and my JB3 on my rig...if the board feed comes out badly, then I'll still have a good AUD to use.
