[Harp-L] re:24 bit JRNB show

[Michael Easton <diachrome@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the comp Garry.
I did an A/B test of the flac file along with the master recording.
The flac file has a harder edge then the 24 bit original recording as  
expected.
.
You can hear the separation of the instruments on the master and the  
upper harmonics
open up more.  Did the file I sent to you sound better or was the  
added distortion due to transferring
to flac?  Seems like the gain increased too.  The flac file plays  
louder then the original.

I like the vocals better on the recording you did at TerraBlues.  
Better house pa then Kclingers.
No monitors or sound person because there is no room for them.

Bill Hines was right about the room in his review.  Music naturally  
compresses in there due to
the shape and size of the room.  Rooms like that need good mics to  
record.  The mini stereo mic that came with the
recorder would have never worked in there. The sound would have been  
too muddy.
