Tonight I experienced the virtue of having a backup recorder for recording concerts. I've been recording a local bluegrass band's shows for the past few months without one, but this evening, the spider senses tingled. I just had the feeling that something might possibly go wrong with my computer that I usually record onto, so I brought along a Mackie MDR and routed duplicate signals to it. For most of their 1.5 hour set, everything ran smoothly. As they approached the last song however, I got the deadly Logic error message -10011, and the damn thing stopped recording! Normally, I would be in "Oh shit" mode, but not tonight. All I'll have to do now is simply load the last ten minutes of the set into Logic and tack the last song onto the wave files. It was lucky that the error happened towards the end, though. Imagine if it had bugged out right in the middle WITHOUT a backup recorder!
I guess the moral of this story is: redundant backups are your friend.
