Marine Midland Arena Buffalo, NY March 25, 1997 Lineage: Realistic and Shure stage mics>Tascam mixer>DAT(M)>Cassette(1)>Adobe Audition>Flac This was the first Time I was ALLOWED to record a concert. Metallica decided to allow bootlegging that year, I had taper tickets. There was me and 3 guys with video cameras. The difference is that they brought the same gear they would use during a clandestine recording gig, and I brought a whole bunch of shit...because I could. I recorded this with 4 mics on stands through a mixing board into a DAT. I set up behind the seats along the back of the walkway, put up my mic stands, plugged the mixer into a convenient outlet, threw on some headphones and let it rip. I balanced the mics in the headphones during COC's set and basically left it alone for Metallica. These were not tiny little condenser mics. They were stage mics my band used. 2 were Radio Shack vocal mics. They were based on Shure SM58 technology, but had a much better low end response. That's why I brought them. The other 2 were condensers we used for overheads on the drums. These got all the high end and ambience. Strangely there were 2 security guys assigned to protect the tapers, but no one else that worked there seemed to have any idea what I was up to. I was asked if I worked for MTV, the band and a bunch of other things. My stock reply was "National Hearing Institute. Sound pressure level testing". Hehe The reason this is from a cassette is that my DAT went missing a few years ago. Damn tiny things they are, easy to lose. Luckily I made a cassette copy to listen to. The tape was de-hissed once digitized, then EQ'd a bit (the DAT was really bright). Other than that this is what the DAT sounded like, though a bit less dynamic. 101 Intro Jam 102 So What 103 Creeping Death 104 Sad But True 105 Ain't My Bitch 106 Hero Of The Day 107 King Nothing 108 One 109 Wasting My Hate 110 Bass Solo (incl.

Spread the music as much as possible, in any format possible. Music should be free and for everyone to enjoy as they see fit. If a person is completely satisfied with an Mp3, then they should be allowed to get it that way. All music should exist in all available formats, be it lossless, lossy, phone files (well maybe not phone files), or whatever. The more formats the more people will be exposed to the variety of music out there, and that's a good thing no matter how you slice it. Just make sure everyone knows what they're getting. |
