Source/Transfer:  AT822 > PCM-D50 @ 24/44.1 > Pro Tools > AIF16 > xACT > Flac
Location: PA mixer mount(3ft), 3 ft back, between drums/keys
Taped, Transferred: mike at soundbetter dot net

Recording Notes:
- missed all of set 1 and part of set 2
- 1st 2 recorded tracks recorded from a 4 ft table 20 ft back.  A good crowd but noisy, so I moved the mic to the front of the room resting it on the PA mixer located about 3 feet in front of the band, 3-4 feet off of center between the drums and keys.
- Because of the less than ideal mic location, adjusted stereo image in Pro-Tools and applied some EQ and compression.  Saxophone and vocals are still buried but improved from the original source.
