Re: recording from desk with md
you need cables
1/8" stereo > 2 x RCA
1/8" stereo > 2 x 1/4"
1/8" stereo > 2 x XLR
The guys at your local music shop (where they sell guitars and stuff) will know what these cables are.
ask the sound guy for a tap he will tell you what kind of connectors you need. I usually bring all three but if you don't want to buy all that you can find out in advance and just get the cables you need for this show.
plug it into the "line in" and set levels just as you would for an aud recording.
most venues (at least in my town) run a mono mix to the pa, so if you want to get fancy you can just record the sbd tap to the left channel and run a room mic to the R channel & mix them together later. If the SBD mix is mono anyways you are losing nothing by doing this (and gaining something).
