Your best bet is to set it and forget it. Get a level at the beginning and
leave some headroom (I like to be below -6db, and -12 is not bad) for the
loud passages. It is not necessary to be near 0db as you will get clipping
if it goes at all beyond that. The key is the microphones. Using powered
microphones and the line in connection of the 702 gives much better results.
The one concert I recorded where I was constantly setting the levels did not
come out nearly as well as the ones where I got a level at the beginning and
then left it alone.

Subject: Re: MD: Recording live concerts with Sharp 702
I just recently got a 702 and plan on doing concert recordings as well. My
question is, what is a safe record level to set it at if, of course, you
would
not know how high the sound will go up to? I just recorded a small recital
with vocals and instrumentals and I found that I constantly had to look down
at
my record level and adjust to the level between the 4 and 0. My enjoyment
of
the recital was somewhat diminished, as you can imagine. The recording did
come out wonderfully.
Extra info: I used the microphone that came with the Sony Stereo Tape
Recorder
D2.
