Recording Equipment - History

Yaesu VR-120D scanner (Inner Ear Monitor frequence -most likely Larry's feed-) + Sony MZ-R30 Minidisc in mono recording (line in with manual rec
level)

Taper: XXXXX X. 
Location: front of left side main stack (inside wristband area), scanner and minidisc in a backpack

Transfer: Minidisc master (Manual Rec Level, Line In, Mono) > Sony MDS-JE510 MiniDisc deck > Philips CdDR770 Audio Recorder (optical transfer)
> Wave single track on 2 Cdrw > EAC secure > Wave (fade in/out, sound level normalized to 0db) > Track splitting with Wavelab 5.0 > lossless conversion Flac (using DbPowerAmp)

Additional notes (by the taper): Lots of static bursts during the recording. The original antenna that came with the Yaesu is pure crap.

Comments

Good IEM recording. As mentioned above by the taper, there are lots of static bursts and scratches or interferences, so this is a little far to sound excellent. It seems to be captured from Larry's earfeed, as drums (and metronome) are higher in the mix. Bono's vocals and Edge's guitar are a really lower part in the overall mix, while Adam's bass is almost non-existent. All in all, sound is more than decent, but there are too many scratches all along.
