Scan of gig poster and some photos from Vault63 and myself included, including one of the setlist which a kind chap let Vault63 photograph at the end. Spectacular venue for a gig and to our surprise a massive queue to get in when we arrived 5 minutes before doors. There must have been 300+ at this. The temporary (low) stage was set up in the middle of the cathedral and it was standing with seats around the side, from which the stage wasn't visible due to everyone in the standing area. Even from the third row back standing and being 6ft tall I struggled to see that much of the guitarists who sat down pretty much throughout, so people further back wouldn't have seen a thing. They were also selling beer in the cathedral. I really enjoyed the show and the crowd were pretty quiet throughout. Now the bad news. I took two rigs and unfortunately had problems with both. I was half expecting my CA14 Cards>BB>Sony M10 rig to exhibit the occasional connection problems I've experienced recently (due to the jack plug connection into the M10 I think) and even though I stood as still as I could I got 15-20 glitches of varying sizes in that recording and some mobile phone interference, which was my fault as I wore a different large coat thinking it would be freezing cold and put my phone in my pocket not far from my recorder, which I don't normally do. So I went to this back up recording - only to find the left channel had failed for 80% of the gig. I've started playing with the other stereo recording and cross fading/patchig the glitches with this dual mono recording (it wasn't worth saving the 20% of the other channel which was useable as it was in small chunks throughout the set). It's a painstaking task and I'm slowly learning how to do it properly in Audacity, but it's going to be a while before I can sort it fully, so in the meantime here is the CA14 omni dual mono recording which I'm using to patch the other one with. In practice this may end up being the better of the two recordings, depending on how succesfully my patching/cross fading skills develop (I've pretty much got the hang of it now after a few hours). I did think about trying to make is a pseudo stereo recording by using some plug in or adding some slight delay to one channel, but decided to leave as is as I don't really know how best to do this and was afraid of doing more harm than good. Apart from it being dual mono, it's pretty darn good, not up to the quality of Stepeanut's recording, but very listenable. In case you are wondering, the small flac file size is due to the two channels being identical, which flac takes advantage of when compressing the file. mp3 samples attached to comments.
