First I want to thank everyone here at TS for giving me quite an education on live recording, especially the information on SRA. Yesterday I finally got to apply what I've learned here and I'm very pleased with the results. I would love to hear feedback and criticism on my recording. This is my also my first time using the Church CA-14s that came last week (thanks Chris).
I can only share the two public domain works in their entirety - Rheinberger
Abendlied and Viadana
Exultate Justi. The other tracks are excerpts of 30 seconds or less which I'm including only for public critique on the recording.
