This was my first time seeing TooL and also my first time recording them.The raw material was a little soft in my opinion being my fear of the recording being too hot in some songs so in some areas level adjustments could be heard. For the most part I nailed it and it came out great for being my first time. Sure was cool meeting some fellow members of the Tool Army and meeting Jcrab66 from the Hub at the show! HighLights of the night for me was that 1.)NOBODY suspects the guy in wheelchair to bring equipment to record the show. While in line,with my bro pushing me, security went around me not even looking at me to pat me down to see if I had anything. If I've had a badass tv studio camera, I could prolly smuggle it in somehow.2.) The hottie in a wheelchair next to mine with her hottie friends.3.)Good ole' family quality time with the family. I bought a pair of tickets for the folks and they saw the show along with my brother and Me. They totally loved it. 4.) And seeing Tool for the first time! Downside: 1.)Everything cost a leg and arm. Shirts , drinks , food , etc. That was expected being a concert.2.) This asshole head of security who was hassling the hotties next to me that one of them didnt belong there. One was lapping the other. With Him being there,I was nervous of him seeing my equipment.3.) Like everyone else complained, I wanted just a little more on the setlist but what can you do! notes from masterer: First off I started off using Cool Edit Pro to amplify, or de-amplify in some places, where abrupt level adjustments had been made. I also fixed a few spots where there was some noise from the mics being moved. I then combined all the separate tracks into a single wav file, and then amplified the entire show by 6dB. Then I used Wavelab to split the tracks and did some minor EQ adjustment (increasing the bass slightly, while lowering the mids and highs a bit to eliminate some of the brightness). I did hear some of the high end "squeal" that I've noticed in some of my recordings of other bands with the same mics, I own a pair as well and haven't found a way to eliminate it from my recordings either. I almost snuck in my pair of GS and batt box, but was weary of metal detectors that weren't even present at the venue. VincE had a much better taping position than I had, and it shows in this recording. I'm feel honored that he let me help master this show for him. Enjoy! |
