Start at this thread so you can understand the nuts and bolts of taping. It deals with aud taping, but it will give you a good frame of reference:

Hey Brian - the stickys arent working!  :-\

How about this?

...make a sticky called: (and Im not being sarcastic)

"How To Tape A Concert" - that is actually a better, more inviting title for newbies...and might command more newbie attention than
"Ask the Tapers" - which is somewhat vague - and even more confusing - the forum is called the same thing...?

i agree.
if you dont understand all the technical jargon you cant even find the info you need.
allthough i did look in the "ask the tapers" thread but i didnt see anything there that seemed to help...

thank for the link joe, very usefull information but i dont think that helps my scenario...
i guess i'll just ask the guy doing the audio what i need...

Do a search for "soundboard patch" and for whatever piece of equipment you're using to record.

If you don't have a recording device yet, then go to the "where to begin" thread and check out your options

maybe when someone signs up for the board, they get an email with links to commonly asked questions in it...

Sorry I think "Archive" would be just as meaningless to newbies...top or bottom...

You have to invite them to click - not make them guess or hope -

Construct navigation that anticipates their needs...

(I've been designing sites professionally since the dawn of the web - so I have pretty strong opinions on this...)

If you don't have a recording device yet, then go to the "where to begin" thread and check out your options

Which will bring up nothing but stuff from "Kickdown Central..."

Is it possible to exclude certain forums from the search engine...?

EDIT: Duh - Advanced Search

i have no clue! thats my problem exactly.
a friend of mine is making a concert and asked me to take care of getting it recorded. i have no clue what i need. all i know is that ultimately i want it to end up on my computer.

sounds good, though this is a one time deal, i dont intend to start buying all kinds of equipment.

well, you will need some type of recording device.  whether or not you buy one is up to you...

What do you have at your disposal?  Can you borrow equipment from anyone?  What type of show is it?  Small club?  Do you know who's running sound? 

Answers to q's like these can help us help you.  You came to the right place  ;)

untill i know what i need i cant know what's at my disposal. i think i should be able to get ahold of something. i'm just not sure what kind of recorder i need
the show is in a hall, the sound is being done by a local sound & lighting place.
