Thanks, yes should be able to EQ it pretty easily. I was thinking the same about using the line in or having the mic setting on high, but sadly not the case. I just tried it out in front of my stereo at home, same results. At least I have the R-09 now and got one decent pull, although I was a bit surprised which one it was.
Also managed to fix the mic in and line in problems, so everything should be smooth from here.
And thanks for encouraging me to try them both, guess I really had nothing to lose, but in the end actually gained something through the little field experiment. I'll be sharing as soon as it is tracked and EQ'd if anyone's interested (Philadelphia 08 Dec 2007 Afternoon show).
This will actually be the first show I've taped and been able to share (so far), but I've been bitten by the taping bug, so it surely won't be the last
