  1. My first post! I've been lurking for a bit on these boards. I've learned a ton already from reading the threads about HiMD's, mics, etc. I read through this section and didn't see any related threads. Here is my situation... I am a live music enthusiast and want to get into recording live music. My girlfriend has a band and performs in small bars/clubs in NYC. Without sounding elementry, it sounds like I'll need a HiMD, blank discs, mic's, an attenuator (because the bass at bars/small clubs is overwhelming), and some type of a mic stand (depending upon where I am). For the experience people out there... 1) What HiMD would your recommend? 2) Which mic's would you recommend? 3) Which attenuator would you recommend? (read here that the Radio Shack one might do the trick) 4) Obviously, because I'm starting out, ease of use is important to me. I'd like to use a USB option to transfer the files onto my comp and convert to .wav or .mp3. I've read that with the HiMD's this is possible. Is this true? 5) While at the club, can I plug in any headphones to listen to the live recording and make adjustments (recording volume, etc)? 6) If I was given permission by her band to record from the soundboard directly, what cables would I need to do so? I appreciate any feedback you guys have and I'm happy I've found this form... -Brandon
