[Harp-L] recording live gigs- new live recordings

[Roscoharp@xxxxxxx]

Hey List,  
A while back I posted that I had bought a Gigatracker form The Sound  
Professionals
_The  Sound Professionals, Inc._ 
(http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?category=0)  to record live gigs & rehearsals.
I recorded a gig with the mic I bought from them, but wasn't too satisfied.  
I was able to get a good deal on two AKG C1000s condenser mics (thanks for the 
 lead, Chris Michalek) & they made a HUGE difference. 
This weekend I used the new rig for the first time to record our band at a  
small, pretty noisy bar. The results were fantastic. Crowd noise was a problem  
on mellow passages. But that can be fixed with better mic  placement. ( I was 
restricted as to where I could place the mics, so I  couldn't really get away 
from the crowd noise.)
The fidelity is amazing. The unit has a built in battery powered  stereo 
pre-amp that is first rate. I think I am going to love this  machine.
 
BTW, We now have some live cuts up on our website. Stay away from Gin &  
Juice if you are parody impaired or easily offended. There is some harp on  a few 
of the  tunes. I don't have anything up from this weekend yet,  but it will 
get some of those cuts up ASAP.  

Later,
Rosco
