Method and apparatus for recording live performances

摘要

A method of creating and duplicating recordings of a live performance for virtually immediate distribution to attendees of such live performance includes the pre-sale of such recordings before or during such performance. During the performance, audio analog signals are converted into digital audio signals and stored by a personal computer as a continuous digital recording. During the performance, the digital recording of such performance is sub-divided into tracks and a master disc is created of the sub-divided recording. One or more of such master discs are then inserted into one or more mass disc duplicators for rapidly producing copies thereof. The copies are then distributed to the attendees of the live performance who have purchased such copies in advance.
