After recently recording The Brothers Comatose at SLO Brew it was nice to get to see / record another smokin’ bluegrass band. I would have liked to try another matrix, but these guys didn’t allow board access. I got to SLO Brew at 6 pm in time for sound check and met up with Drew, the Stingdusters soundman, who gave me permission to hang my Neumanns and set up for the recording. They had brought in their own mixing board and were set up toward the center of the room. Drew had his microphones on a stand next to his board. They were about 15 feet back from where I had hung the Neumanns from the front ceiling post. This turned out to be a really late night for me. The doors were at 8pm and the band’s first set didn’t start until 9pm, with the second set running from 10:15 to 11:40pm. After tearing down my gear I didn’t get out of SLO Brew until midnight, and then there was still a 40 minute drive home. Yawn. I had to be at work at 8am the next morning too! It was worth not getting much sleep because I was able to come away with another great recording. I brought my camera this time and shot some pretty good photos of the band. As some of you know, in a ‘past life’ I was a print-news photographer for a couple of different county newspapers. My Nikon lenses are all manual focus, and sometimes, especially in low light, my nearly 50-year-old eyes don’t always focus correctly. ;) These were shot with a Nikon D300 and 24mm f/2.0 AI manual focus Nikkor wide angle and 85 mm f/1.4 AIS manual focus Nikkor telephoto lenses. ISO ranged from 1600 to 2500. Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. ;) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
