Hah! Watch this space...!
I recorded everything last night (except the caller!!), and most of it turned out well enough. Trouble was, to get a 'stereo' recording I had to take the outputs from the two monitor channels (which weren't in use), and there was no way of seeing the levels, so the first couple of dances had some 'clipping'. The rest were okay, because I was able to concentrate more on the recording once the live stuff had settled down.
I've suggested taking my multitrack next time, so I can record each instrument channel separately.
If nothing else, they can use the recordings as a guide to what's needed for a studio recording for dancing.
It was odd hearing the caller complaining about dancers being slow to take to the floor - after every other ceilidh we've done the caller has commented on what a joy it was to get dancers on the floor so quickly...
