Hi,
DL should be around here next month and I was looking for a tip or two...
Last time I taped DL his roadie would wander the club looking for
tapers. He's solo this tour and I was trying to find out if he still is
doing that? Anyone know?
TIA

I recorded a band two weeks ago from both the audience
and the soundboard in hopes of making a nice live mix.
The audience source has more depth and the soundboard
has more emphasis on the keyboards. I wanted to give
it a 5.1 mix (if that’s at all possible with only two
stereo tracks) or just fake really good surround
sound. I know I could pan the right speaker to 90 and
the left to 180, but I wanted to know if there was a
better way to go about it to get better results.

Using the line-in v. mic-in bypasses the mic pre-amp altogether. I
verified this from the schematic for the D-100 (which I'm assuming is
the same--at least at this stage in the circuit). So it makes no
difference what Att. setting you use.
You didn't mention whether you are using the manual level control or
AGC. It seems to me that the clipping occurring at a lower level than
the max level of the show would indicate that the AGC was in use and was
able to "kick-in" on the loudest part of the show, but the transition
was too fast for it to "kick-in" at the spot where you experienced
clipping. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to prevent this. I never
use the AGC because it can set the threshold differently at different
parts of the show and result in a stepping-up or a stepping-down that is
very noticeable during playback.
Stick to manual level control if possible and pick a good conservative
setting. It may take a few shows to determine what a good setting is to
use, but experience will make this easier. Start conservatively and if
you get a recording that's a little low, you can always normalize it
with software later. Eventually, you'll figure out the right settings
to use with your gear, then you'll get new mics or something and you're
back to square one.

De facto, maybe; once it's out there, they can't get it back. But
they still own the copyrights.
After all, bands sell CDs, a form of distributing their recordings,
without giving up their rights.

And who is willing to pay enough to do so.
