Guys, thanks for the responses so far. One thing I forgot to mention... my
friend recording from the FOH console is NOT the FOH console engineer. My
friend has no control over what goes on with the FOH console. According to
him, he is taking the direct outs of the FOH into his HD24, whatever levels
should happen to exist... he cannot control it at the console. Thus he
needs some type of "gain-control" between the FOH and his recorder. Thanks
