System and method of creating digital recordings of live performances
First Claim
1. A method of producing a plurality of event recordings available shortly after the event has ended, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving a captured event signal;
(b) parsing the received signal into a plurality of discrete event file segments, the sum of which correspond to the event to be recorded;
(c) editing the discrete event file segments, wherein adjacent segments are edited at separate editing stations in an overlapping manner;
(d) sequentially combining the edited discrete event file segments into a resultant event file; and
(e) simultaneously recording at least a portion of the resultant event file onto a plurality of recording media.

Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention provides an event recording system that has an event-capture module, an editing module, and a media recording module. The event-capture module captures an event signal, such as an audio signal from a sound event, and transforms the signal into a primary event file that is accessible as it is being formed. The editing module is communicatively connected to the event capture module. It accesses and parses the primary event file into one or more digital track files that can be recorded onto a recording media. Likewise, the media recording module is communicatively linked to the editing module for receiving the one or more digital track files from the editing module. The media recording module has a plurality of media recorders for simultaneously recording the one or more digital track files onto a plurality of recording media. This allows a plurality of recording media, with the entire event recorded upon each media, to be available shortly after the event has ended.

4. A system for creating a recording of an event, including:
-
a first module configured to receive a first signal representing an audio component of the event and to store the first signal as a first file; and
a second module associated with the first module, the second module being configured to access the first file during the event to create a track file that corresponds to a portion of the first file in response to a track delimiter inserted by a person at the event;
wherein the system is configured to provide the track file during the event to any of a plurality of media recorders to enable each of the recorders to record the track file onto a recording media. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A method of producing a plurality of event recordings, including the steps of:
-
receiving an event signal;
dividing the received event signal into a plurality of segment files;
editing adjacent segment file at separate editing stations;
combining the edited segment files into a combined file; and
recording a portion of the combined file onto a plurality of recording media that are made available shortly after the event has ended. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A system for creating and distributing recordings of an event, including:
-
a first module configured to receive an event signal representing an audio component of the event, the first module creating a cumulative event file as the event is occurring;
a second module configured to access the cumulative event file to create a file segment representing a portion of the cumulative event file in response to a track delimiter inserted by a person at the event; and
a third module configured to receive the file segment, the third module being further configured to provide access to the file segment to facilitate duplication of the file segment onto a plurality of recording media that are made available shortly after the event has ended. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An event recording apparatus, including:
-
means for capturing a portion of one of an audio and a video signal from an event wherein the captured portion comprises at least one track delimiter inserted by a person at the event;
means for editing the portion; and
means for recording the edited portion onto a plurality of recording media to be provided to attendees of the event shortly after the event has ended.

18. A method of providing recordings of an event shortly after the event has ended, including the steps of:
-
capturing an event signal including an output from a microphone;
dividing the captured event signal into a plurality of discrete tracks in response to a track delimiter inserted by a person at the event; and
recording at least a portion of the plurality of discrete tracks onto a plurality of recording media such that the plurality of recording media are available shortly after the event has ended. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
