Michael Martin Murphey
Cowboy Christmas Concert
7 December 2010
Texas A&M Corpus Christi Performing Arts Center - Corpus Christi, TX
Row Q (15th row), Seat 101

Recorded using Croaky-mounted Sound Professional Mini Cardiod mics (SP-CMC-19) , Battery Box with no bass roll off (SP-SPSB-8), Zoom H2 at 44.1 kHz, 16 bit (Line-in jack)

Zoom H2 > wav files > Sony Soundforge 8.0 > Traders Little Helper > flac

Sony Soundforge was used to split the large wav file into tracks, fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end, and to normalize volume during applause. TLH was used to correct sector boundary errors and to convert to flac. Also, Soundforge was used to "fix" 5 mic bumbs (3 were mine and 2 were Murph's). No other mastering or processing was done.

This was the third time out with the new mics and battery box and I am very pleased with the result.. It actually sounded better at home on my stereo than it did in the auditorium. I think the cardiod's actually brought the sound in, up front and clear.

Hope you enjoy the show; we did.
