Matrix Mix:
Audience: Neumann KM140 (clamped to front of sbd) > UA5 (digimod) > optical > Sony M1 DAT> Soundforge (levels, etc, no EQ). Recorded by PeterT.
Soundboard: Sbd > Standalone CDburner > flac. Recorded by Sound Engineer Bo Putnam
Mixed in Adobe Audition by PeterT. Sbd was mixed at +2 dB, Audience at -1 dB. Then via CDWave to flac.

Folks, this is my first matrix mix. I chose to go with about a 55/45 sbd / audience mix. These were amongst my first recording with my new Neumann mics and rig, still learning about mic orientation - I think these were ORTF 90 degree... Thanks to Bo Putnam for the soundboard, and room to clamp my mics.

First set matrix only - my battery pack failed before the start of the second set. A soundboard of the entire show, as well as this matrix first set, are on the Live Music Archive at: http://www.archive.org/details/jgb2008-05-31.1mtrx.2sbd.flac16. I have included the soundboard of the second set if you would like to have a complete show in this torrent.

This was the second of two nights under the California Redwoods in Felton, near Santa Cruz, south of San Francisco. It was a great weekend of music, and I hope to post recordings of the first night soon too...
