I know I was fooling with you lol. Its too bad it was a big turd. I trust you are happy with mine.

I bought one of your preamps to replace the 5% shit-box.  The shit-box was a horrible piece of shit.  

Should have purchased a Church Audio preamp lol 1% parts

I might just give those Sonic Studios DSM mics you recomended a chance.  SS could use a new website, not that marketing matters when it comes to sound, BUT........  

I could whip up a page in 10 minutes nicer that...... Maybe they would trade me a pair of mics.......

the fact that there is no distortion or anything

the waveform you posted is distorted.

to my ears it sounds like your mics were overloaded, not surprising for mogwai, same thing happened to me when I taped them last month.

While a preamp etc would be nice, I'd suggest your biggest improvement will come from upgrading your battery box (I'm assuming you're happy with your mics).

And fly your mics higher

Yeah, after hearing the recording there is definitely distortion going on.  The 853's do not like loud sources when run off a battery box.

Ideally, you want to run those phantom power.

If you can't for stealth reasons, you should run a three wire battery box.  Or, you could run an 18V battery box that helps the 853's handle increased SPL's.

And you say you're battery measured 8.5v?  That really means that battery is on it's way out, and when a load is actually put on the battery, it's voltage will drop, probably significantly enough to impact your recording.

Ive been listening to this really closely, both on speakers and on headphones

The only disortion that I can pick out is maybe some bass fuzz from time to time, is this what you're referring to? Because I cant find any other distortion at all.  It sounds exactly like it did at the show, the guitars were pretty fuzzy, but tahts the Mogwai way I guess



I know what I need for an ideal rig here, but both for monetary and stealth reasons, I pry wont be getting anything else for awhile.  Maybe the 3-wire mod but that's about it




edit: after tweaking on the eq a little bit, and cutting down on the bass, some bass fuzz has become more noticeable.  I dont necessarily like it, but it doesn't really take away from the listening experience.  And considering Mogwai is one o fthe louder shows Ive ever been to, I assume I wont have to worry so much about it for other shows

No stacking for me though, I guess
