Recording Equipment - History

Core Sound Cardiods + M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 > WAV > Soundforge > CDWave (tracking) > Flac FrontEnd (level 7, align sector boundaries) > flac

Taper: danlynch

Location: Section 204 Row H, Seat 13, approximately 75 feet directly in front of left PA speaker

Additional notes (by the taper): Soundforge was used for set fades, level boost, and minor crowd noise editing. The sound quality in the venue was outstanding. The large theatre was easily filled by the sound amplification, and the separation of instruments was superb. It's a pleasure recording sound of this high quality. There is some talking near the taper, but it's mostly pertinent commentary and no music is interrupted. 

Comments

Bright audience tape with a solid and clear sound, and a nice balance, although it may sound tiny weak on occasion. Crowd noise is minimal and relegated to the background, except for a few individuals near the taper a pair of times.
