Taper Notes:
View NotesThis was a benefit show for the Greater Boston Food Bank, and was preceded by a silent auction and dinner in the venue, which we attended, enabling us to get a table on the floor up front. At the time I didn't realize that Gordon had returned to run sound for this show, so I decided to make my first-ever stack tape. Mics were set up at head level directly in front of the left speaker stack; this greatly minimized crowd noise, but had the unfortunate side effect of making it very bass-heavy - most of the midrange and treble came from the suspended arrays, which completely shot over our heads. The solution? Equalization! Not something I'm tremendously familiar with, but I gave it my best shot. I dropped the low end (80Hz) by 8dB, boosted the midrange (2.5kHz) by 6dB, and left the high end alone. Since this lowered the overall volume considerably, I then turned up the master gain by 6dB. The result is listenable in my opinion, but I've kept the raw master as well - if anyone feels like tinkering, please let me know.
