The audio is a direct feed from the microphones, what goes through that should be recorded on the Zoom mic... Here's video of Morgan James at the Triple Door in Seattle, I got direct audio from the board (He burned it onto a DVD for me, so I didn't have to use the Zoom mic). The Triple Door is a dining/show venue, so normally, there would be loud chatter and sounds of cutlery, glasses and plateware (ambient restaurant noises, ESPECIALLY conversations) that would be on the audio picked up by my camera mic, plus whatever distortion from the camera mic picking up sound from speakers. With direct audio, you don't hear that (it's not a great example, the sound engineer had a hot mic that picked up some of the ambient sound)

Thanks Tusk, I understand now. I was missing the fact that your zoom mic has it's own recording capability. I thought it was simply an external accessory to your camera. So effectively by plugging in to the audio board you bypass the zoom mic and just use the recording function to record the direct audio feed. Very versatile. Thanks for your detailed report and the photos (a brain in a jar? That's a first) . The set list looks awesome. Looking forward to your videos.
