Damn, yeah, that sounds pretty good considering the situation. Obviously a bit muffled but everything can be heard relatively well
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
It is obviously not the best ever SQ -
I really was expecting the recording to be of horrible SQ
as it turned out to be more than acceptable -
caveat: under the circumstances....
The Tascam DR-05 was placed at about knee height and about 3ft from the vocalist
in the wedge shaped space between the vocalist's monitor speaker and the sub-woofer it was on!
I did have the DR-05 on my homemade pouch from a sock but on the sub-woofer and under the vocal monitor....
So not only was it in a ridiculous place - it was also very loud being so close,
and facing the drums only buffered by the vocalist's legs.... er-hum.
Like they say gimme a break - who in their right minds would place microphones there.....
I did, because there was no where else I could safely place my recorder, even if I could get there through the sardines!
So despite the sub-par SQ I am absolutely blown away that I managed to get a recording that was even acceptable!
FWIW - here's a video on YouTube of the same song - I shot only on the second outing with my camera - but I consider one of my best so far....

The basic technical aspects are not as good since the camera is recording via its internal mics with AAC at 48kHz 128kb/sec (that rate is regarded as "transparent")
but the sound balance is typical - with obviously a different space -
always feel the vocals are a little recessed -
but it really seems to suit the overall balance and harmonies with the instrumentation.
