I talked to one sound guy the other night. It was the band's one year anniversary so I wanted to get a nice pull for their listening pleasure.
I had started recording, and was walking over to purchase a white russian (being newly 21 and the big lebowski fan that I am)....
...anyways, I saw that the soundguy had a pair of what looked like (and were later confirmed as) AKG C1000's.
I talked to the sound dude, named KB, and he said he was running those C1000's straight into Protools on his laptop...
We arrive at my question...
I did not think of it at the time, but would he be using some sort of external/internal audio card to do this? It doesn't seem like straight into a mini jack on the old laptop would be that great...am I wrong?
He also mentioned that he was planning on making a matrix sometime soon, so I will just have to talk to him further......
