Good recording settings (iRiver h320) for a standard rock concert?
daveace:
I've recently updating my live taping right from a Sony MD to a Rockboxed iRiver h320. Anyway, the Rockbox settings on the h320 look GREAT, but I've yet to tape something with it yet; so does anyone have any suggestions for levels / settings? I'll be taping moderately loud to loud concerts, mainly of rock and indie rock bands. Venues will typically be small, but there will be a large arena here and there. My mics are Sound Professionals cardioids + Sound Pros battery box w/ optional bass roll-off.
Thanks! :)

I'll just mention what I'm using:
- encoding: WAV 44.1
- AGC Safety (200ms)
- gain at start of concert at +15dB
- pre-recording 30s
AGC-Safety can help compensate if you don't know how loud the concert will be. It will lower gain on clipping risk, just like you would.

Sounds good, thanks! Btw, does the 'volume' on the recording screen have any effect on the recorind? If so, what should that be at?
Benway:
The "volume" setting in the recording screen is the monitoring volume. Changing it will not affect the recording itself.

where "monitoring volume" = headphone and line-out volume
(just to make this 100% clear)
