David Bromberg & Angel Band
July 19, 2008
Palace of Fine Arts
San Francisco, CA
Taper: James Welborn
Location: 7th row, center
Source: ZOOM H2, built-in mics, 24bit/48Khz.
Transfer: Peak Pro
Processing: Some very minor EQ and compression
Conversion: Xact level 5
Notes: I'm posting this to show what can be done with a $200 recorder today. This is to encourage anyone who isn't recording music (and downloading shows) to start. The Zoom H2 is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. I simply put in in my shirt pocket. (I also own a pair of Neumann U89i's, but they are impossible to use for stealth.) This show had Peter Rowan opening, but his music isn't allowed here, so this is just the Bromberg portion of the evening. A shame, because David sat in with Peter on about three tunes.
Please note, I was going to re-sample it down to 16bit, but I really wanted to show the capability of the H2, so I left it 'fat' at 24bit. If you like Bromberg, the crowd was very quiet & it's worth a listen. Also, on track eight David went off-mic to the very front of the stage which is why that sounds so different. Cheers.
