wouldn't let me plug into the desk, even though the band requested it.
Luckily i took along my mic. It was given to me as a gift by minidiscweb,
due to the fact that i' requested a blue unit but they only had white. The
mic ain't that great; it's a Aiwa Stereo condenser microphone CM-TS22
(marked as a business/live recording microphone).
> Anyway the recording is pretty good but quite distorted. It was a pretty
loud PA, in a smallish bar. It doesn't sound to me like digital distortion
(i had my R91 on auto rec. level setting), so i'm guessing it would be the
mic that was clipping. On playback however, the signal sits pretty well on
full (i'm guessing the wave form has pretty straight edges due to the
clipping?).

> I was going to buy a Soundprofessional AT 853 mic soon. I've heard this is
a great sounding mic, but would this also be the solution to the clipping
problem? Also, is this one of the best for recording loud indoor (and
outdoor) gigs?

Did you plug into the mic socket or Line In? If the mic has it'ds own power
source (button cell maybe? AA battery? then you can plug into the Line In
and it will handle higher volumes. This is what I have done with my DIY
mics, and I was amazed at the quality - I was expecting it to sound somewhat
bad being my first attempt at a mic, but they sound great!!
