Notes

Tech Notes:
Taped DFC Balcony, mics aimed at stacks. EQ applied in Soundforge: Parametric EQ High-End Shelf -8 db above 16K, parametric EQ -2.5 db @ 85 & 115 Hz at 1.1 octave width each, and then parametric EQ +2 db @ 600 Hz w/2.3 octave width. Recording started a few seconds into Deal, so I patched a half a minute of audience noise and the first four bars from another LMA source, the balc, sp c4's(bass rolloff) recording, thanks.

General notes: As of now there are two excellent sources of this show on the Archive, the Balcony sp C4 recording and the Neumann SKM150 OTS source. I offer this recording as a compromise alternative. I found the balcony recording to be full of rich mid-range detail but low on any real low bass. The Neumann's had plenty of bottom end, but sounded a little muddy and (as noted) very chatty. This hypercard old-style recording was a nice compromise in that it captured good detail across the whole audio spectrum from the quiet balcony. Some relatively gentle eqalization revealed a startling amount of detail throughout, so that it is rich and punchy whilst also being crisp and clean. Let me know what you think!

This is an experiment: I have found the dense sonic mix of a P&F concert can overwhelm many microphones, unless they screen out the offending waveforms. I was curious if hypercards could take a more accurate sample, which would then provide good information for the equaliser to work with. It's certainly an interesting compromise. In future, I think there's also a role for hypercards in a multi-mic or multi-channel mix... By the way, I chose my eq settings to replicate what I would have liked to do to the sound on the night. ie. notch it down about 3 db between 50 and 150 Hz... and then I brightened up the top end of the bass to replicate Phil's tone more closely.

One more note: the Jam out of Mississippi Half-Step became it's own track when I listened closely and found it had nothing to do with the song either side, instead it moves through several developing stages... a very interesting piece of music.
