how did it turn out tim? what did you end up running?
great time up in Salina Saturday. Thanks Phil for hooking that up and JBK for the loaner rig
listened a bunch yesterday and I think it came out really nice. I had the gain all the way up on the R4 and it's very clean and quiet, I'm impressed by this little box.
Former guitar player from the Wayword Sons with another guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass playing in an old 1 room school house from 1885. About 40 people all VERY quiet and respectful. I setup about 4 feet from the performers, 3.5 feet high and ran x/y 100*. Big wide soundstage but still a nice, tight image. For the first time out in a few years it came out nice
the music was all originals and he played a lot of quiet and mellow stuff. He actually at one point said he was playing mellow music because the audience was so respectful and he never gets to play these tunes. At one point he actually had numerous people in the audience in tears - the guy can really write a song. he had really interesting introductions/stories to a lot of the songs
he really seemed to appreciate having someone there to record. he even kicked me a copy of his new album which was way cool. Jeff Austin, Drew Emmitt, Sally Van Meter and others guest on the album
