Taper Notes:

View NotesI'm pretty sure I was the only taper. This is an amazing venue...you should get there someday if you haven't yet. Say what's up to Wade if he has a free second, he's a good guy. They have a permenant pair of mics hanging from the ceiling that you can use if you want....and AC power...oh yeah. And check this out.... I had my RV in Burlington for a show and their was a show the next day...so I asked and they let me camp the night right in front of the place. How sweet is that? Don't let the word out though... it was probably a favor cause I goto school across the lake.

My mics were configured pretty close to NOS but the angle wasn't exactly 90 degrees...basically I used a flash light to line the shotguns up so they were pointing at there respective speaker stack exactly... PAS

I don't know why it says the lossless show is 1.5 gb...I only uploaded 962mb...maybe that's what it will be once it's a wav.

DO NOT TRADE OR CIRCULATE LOSSY MUSIC FILES. If you are making a cd then use the shorten files....the lossy files are there only for embedding on websites...and if your personal audio device has a small capacity....if you download a file other than shn, such as mp3, or ogg, DO NOT TRADE IT WITH ANYONE!........ Here is an excerp from etree to help explain why: 
Quality is very important to the taping community. When a taper records a good show, it makes him proud and represents the band well. A copy of a show may circulate to hundreds or thousands of people over time, each of which will spend time and money sharing, burning, and listening to a show - so it's a very bad idea to put an inferior version, such as an mp3 into the trading pool.  These compressions all use a lossy algorithm. This means that over time, these lossy recordings can be re-extracted and re-encoded so that it sounds very inferior to the original source. Lossless algorithms such as Shorten (.shn) allow for pure digital reproductions. Trading lossy files does injustice to the band and the taper who went out of his way to bring you some awsome tunes.
