[Dixielandjazz] Re ''Recording direct from sound system"

[ross anderson]

Dear Bob,
We have all instruments through the PA ! We have a "Feedback Killer" which allow us to put the speakers behind the band and all players / instruments have mikes and I can put a mike over the drums.
All the guys know they on the "Air".
Gary has come up with an idea !!
I knew that I would get help from list mates !!
It is after 8pm here in "OZ" , so I will see what tomorrow brings .
Thank you all in advance,
Ross Anderson,
"New Melbourne Jazz Band."
