Topic: C4, Akg480, MBHO comps

[it-goes-to-eleven]

On Monday, I taped Les Claypool w/Skerik on sax at the Odeon in Cleveland.  I'm pleased with my C4 recording.  I've called the C4s bright in the past.. I still think that's generally true.. BUT.. in this case, with the sax, I like it 

There are two sources for this show up on etree. I have not seeded my c4 version (though my Duo opener is up there).. I believe that an unseeded Schoeps mk4 version exists.   I just put some comps up (included as attachments) for anyone who is curious:


Les Claypool 7-18-05 The Odeon w/ Skerik on sax

Samples are:

Sample 1: Precipitation, 4:26-4:31

These mics were a couple feet closer to the corner of the board (and
lobby), and therefore pick up a bit more chat.

I love the sound and I wish I would have used the J-disc for hbrsb DFCFOB but I don't think I well try it at the small bar I record in. The place is way to noisy and I don't think it well work clamped on the stage w/ hot buttered rums sound system.
Peace
Here is a link on how I built my J-disc:
