Schoeps CMC6-MK4V ORTF DFC onstage ->
25 feet AudioMagic Extreme Silver XLR mic cable -> Grace Lunatec V2 -> 
AudioMagic Scepter Silver XLR signal cable -> Benchmark AD2402-96 @ 24 bit/48kHz -> 
S/PDIF into DAARWIN-24 laptop (Sony Vaio C1VN Picturebook with Digigram VXPocket, Win2K C.L.E.A.R. build, Sonic Foundry Vegas video 2.0d).

For archival of 24/48 material, broken up into tracks using Sound Forge 5.0, burned with Nero Burning Rom onto 5 CD's as 24 bit/48 kHz .WAV files or 4 CD's as 24/48 .APE files (using Monkeys Audio Compressor v3.91b1).
No processing of any kind took place on these files, they are in their unadulterated state.
To reassemble complete show, concatenate files in order by disk # and track # (i.e. d1t1 + d1t2 + d1t3 + d2t1 + d2t2...etc)
Tracks start immediately with music, and end with in-between noise and stage banter.
Files with .SFK extension are Sonic Foundry peak files, included for faster loading into Sound Forge or Vegas Audio/Video.
These .WAV files can be played right off the CD's on a computer equipped with a 24-bit soundcard, and the .APE files can be played right off the CD's as well with the Monkeys Audio plugin for Winamp.
 
Comments from Dan:
This is one of the best 2 track recordings I have ever done.  Incredible separation, yet it is still a natural sounding soundstage.  Steve on the left, Rodney a tiny bit left of center, Mitch on the right, with Bobby sandwiched between Rodney and Mitch.  This was the only true ORTF rig onstage, everything else was either XY or some kind of weird more distant split.  Of course this was the only 24-bit recording in the room... ;-D
