Notes:
This was the maiden voyage of the DPA 4021's and Lunatec V3. I didn't know where to adjust the gain, so I set it pretty high because it was supposed to be an acoustic set. Boy was I wrong!!! The first 35 seconds of Track 1 you can hear me frantically adjusting the gain. On Source 1, the levels were all clipped during first 20 seconds. Fortunately, there is a discrepancy between the signal sent from the V3's analog-out (very hot) and digital out, so I used my backup source to fix Source 1. I tried my best to adjust the gain in the post processing, but you can hear the gain change. It settles at about 35 seconds in, so I hope it isn't too distracting.

Very cool show. It was great to see such a big name playing in such a tiny club. Good to met you Rich, Steffan, Nick and Vincent!
