That would be me....  There is a difference between the links... The orignal link has a "?" before the 5.. where the second link had a "#" before the 5...   I went back to the orinal post and the hypers showed up....

Yes OOK, thanks. It looks like a few folks grabbed it last night. FYI, it's from the Cats Cradle. Great venue from a historical perspective, and because they're able to book a lot of national acts. The room however is a big steel and concrete box with minimal wall treatments etc. It's echoey under good circumstances, and that night the crowd was thin, so it's a bit more pronounced. So, I'll amend my earlier comment, the hypers sound niiiiice (for that room, under those conditions)

OK, here's a couple files from a MUCH BETTER hyper pull from last night. Same room and setup except the mic angle was slightly less than 90 deg, probably 85. I did this to try to reduce the reflective sounds off the walls. Also, the crowd was much larger last night, so there were plenty of bodies to soak up the reflections. The 2 new files are:

hypers_fob2.flac (or mp3) The Wandering, Wang Dang Doodle
hypers_fob3.flac (or mp3) The Gourds, I Want It So Bad

I have some CK63 caps on the way, so I'll be able to do a hyper comp soon. If all goes well tonight, I'll have an outdoor amphitheater pull 3Z diffuse omni vs 462s to share tomorrow.

p.s. Thanks to vanark for hooking me up with a guest spot for Luther (solo) and The Wandering. Killer show!

The omni comp X2. Taped with Walstib62 last night, so I ended up with a multicomp. The first set of files are:

source1omni.flac and source2omni.flac

This is the AKG C462B vs 3Z diffuse omnis. The omnis were both spread @3ft, 8ft high, approx 100ft from stage. This was at an outdoor amphitheater. The second set of files are from a small outdoor stage, same spread and height, but only 40ft from the stage. In this case, the comp is between JBMod Nakamichi CM300/CP3s vs 3Z diffuse omni. The files are:

2ndsource1omni.flac and 2ndsourceomni.flac

In general, I consider the CP3s to be the gold standard of omnis, so I was really happy to do this comp. I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts. Mine =

The 3Zs are on top, the AKGs below by ~6in. Walstib62s JBmod Nak CP4s are in the middle.

I'd give the edge to source 1 on the CK62/3Z Koko Booth recording...ever so slightly....

I don't know what the other show sounded like...but

For the SECOND source files...the Source 1 would be my choice to fly...the tom/snare on Source 2 sounded flat and overall distant

[bryonsos]

For the omni comps, source 1 is the 3Zs in both cases. I found the bass response to be excellent, and the highs to be better represented vs both other mics. Overall, I would say that the sound is livelier and perhaps fuller (better rounded) than the other two. Again, I would be pleased if I brought any of these tapes home, but the 3Zs get the edge. I'm going to have to comp these vs the STOs as soon as I get the chance.

Just curious, did you have to break down before the B-52s?

We had to break down before SCOTUS (shrugs)

That's odd. I'm guessing you set up permission through BS and it didn't carry over. Were all nine members of SCOTUS there? Or was it SCOTS?
