Comment
Melvin Sparks ---- Guitar
Jerry Z ---------- Organ
Justin Tomsovich --Drums
Recorded By: Luke Turnbull and Mike "Fruity" Fruncillo
Transfered, Tracked, and EQued by: Luke Turnbull with Adobe Audition 1.5
Notes:
As I was not able to adjust my recording levels on the fly, and was a half-foot from the stage, I went line in to the iHP-120. This records at a relatively low gain. I then used Audition to Normalize and to crispen the sound a bit.
The sound is UNBELIEVABLE! I would definately rate it an A. Mic placment is up-close and very intement, (if you listen close, you can even hear a little of the natural sound coming from Melvin's guitar). As you can hear Melvin is front and center on this recording. Since the mics were left-center of the stage they pick up more of melvin and unfortunately less of Jerry Z and his organ work. But it still sounds great (i think).
Production Notes:
Normalized all tracks ranging form 118% -- 140% to give a recording a somewhat consistent volume. Equalized all tracks bringing up the lows very, very slightly and the highs very slightly.
There is a fade in on Pick Up the Pieces. I had to save my old file and start a new one (around 1 hour five minutes into show). Doing this takes about 30 seconds so I missed the very begenning of the song. There are a few pops in the recording that I didn't take out for fear of losing sound quality. These pops are an unfortunate trait of the ihp-120.
Thanks to Mike for bringing his AT-853's.
Thanks to the Dakota for booking Melvin on what seems like it will be a regular basis.
Special Thanks to the Melvin Sparks Band for puttin on a hell of a show!
