clear audio recording from live show music

[kj1983]

I am recording a live show music. What do I need to buy to get a clear audio recording?

Currently I do not get a clear audio, I was standing next to the next speaker as well.

Better to ask at http://www.taperssection.com and http://recording.org/forum.php

I am sure that there are people with audio knowledge here but do clarify your goal.

Are you just recording audio or is the audio in your video recording not clear.

What I can tell you that standing next to a speaker is possibly the worse place you can be. Too much feedback.

Yes, the people who tape concerts as their hobby will have the best information.

Without going into detail, you'll need: good microphones, good preamps, a good recorder and a good way to mount them all in a good place without being bothered by security or other audience members. You'll also have take measures to deal with the fact that sound pressure levels at concerts is usually well above the range that most mic-preamp-recorder chains are comfortable handling. In other words, what works well for recording bird sounds in the wild will probably sound distorted and horrible at a concert.
