# Be careful with your channel mixes on the T1.  Ensure they are correct for your overall "live sound" mix on the L1 system.  Also, be aware you can change the "recording" mix by utilizing the AUX OUT level settings in the T1.  You can have between 0% and 100% of a channel going to your Zoom H4 recorder for recording.  This will affect your "recording" mix, but not your "live" mix.

# You’ll record whatever is picked up by your microphones.  This will be dependent on the types of microphones you use, their polar patterns, etc.  Just be aware, you’ll “record” what the microphone hears!

If you have a Bose {{L1}} and {{T1}}, then recording your music can be as easy as purchasing one of these new digital recorders (with external input capability), hooking it up and playing some music!  A recording of your gig has the potential to let your hear where you need a little extra practice on a song or two!  Who knows, you might also be able to use this to record your first “live CD”, with very little effort on your part!  Good luck and if you have questions about this procedure, hook-up, or anything related, please let me know.  I’ll be glad to answer your questions via the message board or email.
