Re: Now I'm posting again... sorry. Shooting an event

Generally, my experience has been that sound boards at venues usually have few outputs to spare, and a spare, unused mic level output is even more rare. By their nature, boards designed for PA work are more concerenced with distributing line level outputs. Take what you can get. If the cable run to the board from the recorder is short, do mic level. If the cable has to be long, do line level.
