Jars of Clay Produces Live CD During Tour
When Jars of Clay hit the road to promote their current release GOOD MONSTERS, they wanted to record their shows in hopes of releasing a live recording after the tour. After recording the first few shows, they realized that they could release the live record, called LIVE MONSTERS, during the tour! How did they do it?
A Road-ready Recording Setup
It starts with a recording system capable of dealing with the demands of a national tour. At the heart of the system is the Sweetwater Creation Station - designed and configured by the computer audio experts at Sweetwater specifically for audio production. Connect the PreSonus FireStudio and two DigiMax FS' for 24 Class A microphone preamplifiers with Jet PLL synchronization technology enabling hours of rock-solid continuous multi-channel recording.
Finally, add Steinberg's Cubase 4 - the most advanced audio recording and production software with the ability to mix during recording, send sequencer and virtual instrument tracks in real time, and more, for a fully integrated hardware and software recording rig that can handle anything thrown at it.
"Never Skips a Beat!"
"Our recording rig is exactly what we need it to be: dependable, easy-to-use, and powerful. It has become an integral part of our production and recording. The PreSonus preamps sound amazing, Cubase 4 is unbelievably creative and powerful and the Sweetwater Creation Station never skips a beat, literally. Thanks Sweetwater for the sweetest recording rig!"
-Matt Odmark Jars of Clay Guitarist
