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.
