Sure, I'll post a chunk tomorrow.


Did I miss this?


No, not posted yet - a bit too busy to dissect something
suitable right now.

OK. I was visiting my son and his family in York (PA)
over the Thanksgiving holiday, and posting from there
for 4 days. Didn't want this to get lost in the cracks.


OK - I have posted a minute or so he

The group are happy, but I think there is a great deal
more church audible than there ought to be. Next time I
will get in closer, or perhaps get them to try a calmer
venue - this place is more suited to either the right
kind of music (if you know what I mean) or a larger
ensemble that can better match the reverb.

Still, as a first outing for those mics, it will do.

Agreed.

First thing I noticed was that there was relatively high hiss. Any broken
steam pipes in that room? ;-)


Didn't notice, but that is definitely acoustic in origin - no way the
electronics put that in there.

Seems like a very sophisticated MP3 coder.


Standard one in Audition - MP3Pro at 224k.

Musically - I would be very happy if my players were that good (or that
numerous!).

They are a bit of a treat, aren't they? That's what comes of living in
this part of London, I'm happy to say.

Room sonics seem to be very cold.

Yup - definitely.

My first shot at remastering quickly moved to a uniform slope (logarithmic)
filter that was +10 dB at 20 Hz, and -20 at 20 Khz. That brought out too
much room noise, so I put in a break down to -30 dB starting at 200 Hz.


Far too dull-sounding for my liking. I'm just knocking 8dB off the top
end, using a splined FFT breaking at 1500Hz. I remember how it
actually sounded, and the recording is actually pretty faithful - just
too bright for comfort.

Bright room eh? ;-)


Yes - I'll take along a thousand or so bean bag chairs next time. They
should sort it out. :-)
