I'm so mad at myself right now!
I taped Rush last night, from row 21 on the floor.
Gear: SP-MC-4's, ST9100 preamp, silver cable, R-09 at 24/48.
Amazing show!
I get up this morning to discover that despite what I thought were conservative settings, preamp only half-way up and
high-spl switch in, R-09 set to level 8 ... that everything brick walled! So, everything distorts,
but I can hear just enough of the vocals and stereo image to know that, had things not overloaded, I would have ad an excellent audience recording!
All I can think is that in my haste and trying to be stealthy, I plugged into the R-09's mic in, instead of line in. Otherwise, I don't know why
things were captured so hot.
So ... just had to vent. Thanks for reading.
Anybody else capture this show, or any of the other Ontaro Canada dates this week?
Signed,
very frustrated, and won't let this happen for John McLaughlin in October!
