http://archive.org/details/moe2012-12-01.CK-61Active Notes:
The AKG C 480 B comb/ CK61-ULS were stand mounted 2" above the AKG CK61-ULS > Naiant AKG Active mics on the same stand same 7.8" spacing and 90 degree angle.
Both sets of microphones were shock mounted with no windscreens used.
I used ~ 5db more gain on the DR-680 to bring the gain of the AKG CK61-ULS > Naiant AKG Active > Tascam DR-680 mics up to the level of the AKG C 480 B comb/ CK61-ULS pair.
There was an opening band, so I was able to get the levels as closely matched as possible before I recorded moe.
I used CuBase to line up the raw files add fades and cut them to be exactly the same length. No EQ, optimization, limiting or compression was used. These are the RAW recordings matched with fades at the beginning and end of the sets.
I used CD Wav Editor to cut the AKG C 480 B comb/ CK61-ULS WAV recording into tracks.
Then, I made a cue file from the first set of files and used those cue files to cut the AKG CK61-ULS > Naiant AKG Active (DIN, FOB, center, 9 ' up) > Tascam DR-680 WAV files into tracks with CD Wave Editor.
I used Trader's Little Helper to make the FLACs (level
.
I tagged the FLACS with Audio Shell Tag Editor and made the FLAC fingerprint files.
No other processing was done.
* Extra special thanks to CoTaper Pat for lending me the CK-61 capsules so I could make these comparison recordings.
