Very good tape, a little out of balance, but not bad. I always run Phase and De-Click on every audience tape, and on this one I would run center extract or re-balance with a vocal extract.
Scooter123: Do you mean you use the Phase and D-Click features in RX? What do they do and how do you use them? What about Center Extract - does that just create a mono version?
When you say re-balance with a vocal extract, I believe that's what I did?
I should have stated from the outset that I tend to be hypercritical and hypersensitive to things like this, so when I say the recording is a mess, many people would consider that exaggeration. Things like this drive me crazy, in large part because I know how good recordings in this room have been in the past - so I think it's a preventable problem if I could just find a way to prevent it.
Another frustrating thing about this show was that the vocals (and the drums to a lesser extent) were mixed too high, which leaves the rhythm guitar - the key instrument for a metal band - far too low in the mix. This is why I reduced the gain of the vocal track in both channels.
