Recording Equipment - History
OKM IIr binaural microphones + Nomad JB3 (44.1 kHz) > WAV > USB > HD > Adobe Audition > Harbal > CDWav > FLAC
Taper: DeRosa
Location: just right of mixer tent
Additional notes (by the taper): Was stood to left of 2 fans in wheelchairs and
their helpers, which meant that the right channel is a very clean source as I
had more space around me there. Left channel was slightly marred by people close
to me - claps, clicks, shouts etc... but not much. I've been able to eliminate
the few seconds that were spoiled by copying from right channel. There is some
of the usual level fluctuation/flutter which makes outdoor shows so hard to
tape. But on the whole I'm pretty pleased with this. I only took the recorder
along in case nobody else got a good recording - but I don't think there'll be a
better source than this.
I've run it through some discrete processes to boost sound. I copied the
original track to 4 seperate tracks in Audition. First track was EQed to
highlight bass, and run through some Bass specific compression. Second track was
EQed to percussion, and run through drum-specific compression
Third track was EQed for mid tone guitar/vocal and run through some compression
and enhancement/widening. Fourth track was left as is.
The
four tracks were merged via mixer to get a fuller sounding result, without
having to resort to reverb or excessive compression. Final result was run
through Harbal EQing and mastering software, Normalised and left channel was "repaired"
in Sound Forge (worst clicks removed etc). Right channel was left as is to mask
any artifacts click removal might leave. Finally tracks were split in CD WAV.
Am aware there are some strange sounding high tones in the percussion. These are
on the original recording too and not a result of my tinkering.
New Year's Day and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For have
some issues I couldn't do anything about but that you might only notice with
headphones.
Comments
Very nice recording that documents the first of two soldout nights in Horsens (Denmark). Sound quality places in the borderline "very good / excellent" rating, some may consider it as a "exc-". It sounds pretty clear with music and vocals well upfront and there's a very rich output, but on the other hand there is some clipping in the louder parts of the gig, and a heavy bass in the mix, so both things make it to sound somewhat harsh. There are a few channel shiftings here and there, mostly on the first few songs.
Bono sang a few lines of Discothèque at the end of the remix of I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight.
