Aimee Mann's 3rd Annual Christmas Show
Somerville Theatre - Somerville, MA
2008-12-11

"Bah F*cking Humbug"

AT933 hypercardioid (3 wire) > DIY battery box > Microtrack II, 24/44.1
encore: Chopped Nak 300 cardioids > Church Audio ST-9100 > Edirol R-09
line-in, 24/44.1
Front row mezzanine dead center


Pretty decent sound, but the Somerville Theater has an incredibly
annoying heating/AC system that makes it seem like you're outside
on a windy day. It doesn't seem to affect the recording too much,
but there may be a few spots of wind rumble during quiet passages.
I'm not sure why I don't have the encore on the AT933 source, but I
was running 2 rigs that night ;-) I may post the chopped Nak source
as well for anyone interested.
