The Knitters
Great American Music Hall
San Francisco, CA, USA
19 May 2011
MS-TFB-2 In-Ear Binaural Mics -> SP-SPSB-11 Slimline Battery Module (16 Hz, no bass roll-off) -> line-in jack of Sony PCM-M10 -> Sound Forge 7 (for trimming) -> FLAC8 -> BigDee -> Sound Forge 10 & HarBal -> FLAC
(& for Tracks 19-22 only, -> TLH -> WAV Joiner -> TLH -> FLAC to do some combining to get the last 4 tracks)
Recorded from the balcony (next to the rail, about 1/4 of the way back, and next to the left ceiling speaker) on the left side facing the stage.
Thanks to BigDee's mastering, this is a good recording of a great gig that was a lot of fun. However, it is not a great recording. It's reflective of the sound where I was sitting (and standing as the music dictated!). Please listen to the samples. Where I was in the balcony had a lot less audience chatter than on the main floor, but I think that the overall sound quality would have been better on the main floor. There's far too little of The Knitters on DIME, so I decided to upload this.
Many thanks to BigDee for mastering this!
