I decided to make an insane 500 mile drive to Toronto from Philly, and I made this decision pretty much the night before and as I got up at 4:45 AM on October 12, 2007 to hit the road. This is the third recording with my newly bought gear, the AT831's and the SP-SPSB-8 battery box. I set the gain at 20 on the Edirol. The VU meter peaked mostly around -8 dB, though during Ed's solo it got higher because he kept banging the shit out of the guitar. I made appropriate volume adjustments to have it as loud as possible without clipping. This is a pretty good recording. Unlike Philly 10/3 there's no distortion in Roth's voice, even though the levels were the same for both nights. The stereo separation is not as wide as I would have liked, as I was kind of rushed getting my gear together--why does the ACC have only TWO stalls in the men's room? So I had to do a lot of the setup in my seat with an usher looking in my general direction. I could NOT find the fucking clips to the mics without exposing my gear, so I just pulled up the mics loose and stuck them on top of my jacket zipper, so they weren't spread far apart for recording. There are also times where you can hear the mics hitting against my jacket or against each other...oh well, it really doesn't detract much from the recording. It's got a nice, clear sound to it, a tad dry, but not bad. The ACC has very good acoustics in my opinion. Because I was fidgeting with the mics the sound is a little inconsistent during YRGM, nothing horrible but it's not "settled." From "I'm The One" on things stabilize and the sound is consistent through the rest of the show. Absolutely awesome performance, especially "Spoonful" during SGMAD. |
