DEDIT NOTES: THE TAPERS RIG WAS NEW.  THE TAPER DID NOT KNOW HOW TO USE IT.  THE MIC 2496 BURNS 9Vs LIKE SATAN ON SUNDAY, SO THERE ARE TWO BATTERY FLIPS.  THE MIX WAS OUT OF BALANCE SO THE RIGHT CHANNEL WAS GIVEN A BOOST.  THE FIRST FILE BEFORE BATTERY FLIP WAS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE KICK DRUM (AUDIX OWNERS WILL NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT RUNNING SHORT ON KICK DRUM BASS).  ALL THREE ORIGINAL FILES SOUNDED GREAT EXCEPT THAT DOUG SOUNDED AS THOUGH SINGING THROUGH A SOCK.  THE FIRST FILE RECEIVED -6dB AT 100 Hz FOR 0.3 OCTIVES TO REDUCE THE KICK DRUM.  ALL THREE FILES RECEIVED +6dB AT 5000 Hz FOR 2.5 OCTIVES TO REMOVE THE SOCK.  ALL THREE FILES WERE NORMALIZED BY BRINGING THE AVERAGE ROOT MEAN SQUARE POWER TO -16dB TO EVEN THE SPECTRUM AND ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR CRANKING THE VOLUME UP TO 50 TO HEAR THE SHOW.  THE BATTERY FLIPS OCCUR AT THE END OF DISC ONE TRACK 08 AND DISC 2 TRACK 01 AS SHORT CROSS FADES.

THE MASTER FILES MAY BE POSTED BY REQUEST

QUALITY NOTES:  THE RESULTS OF THIS RIG ARE IMPRESSIVE.  ALSO THE CRYSTAL BALLROOM HAS PURCHASED A NEW SOUND BOARD AND NEW PA SYSTEM SINCE I LAST CHECKED.  THIS NEW EQUIPMENT FINALLY SATURATE THAT CAVERN.  

SHOW NOTES: SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY INTERUPTS THE USUAL PROGESS OF SIDEWAL AND THE BAND FILLS IN WITH A REGGAE INTERMEZZO.  THE NASTY FUZZ IN ALIEN FUGUE IS REAL AND NOT A FAULT OF THIS RECORDING.

THIS SHOW WAS ALSO TAPED WITH A FAMILIAR SCHOEPS RIG ON A 7 1/2 FOOT STAND.  A POST MATRIX MAY EXIST OF THE SOUND BOARD AND THE SCHOEPS AUD.
