My Master Recordings
Updated 01/22/17

This little walk down my recording history is as much for me as it is for anyone else reading this.

CrueFest 2008
August 20th 2008 - Cleveland Ohio - Blossom Music Center
BAND NAME TITLE TIME SAMPLE COVER
Motley Crue   TAY009 97.34 1 , 2 F - B

Equipment - RCA digital voice recorder with internal mic.
Notes - Some more improvement, but still no where near a quality recording. The acoustics in my location didn't help much either. Kind of far from the stacks and that area of the amphitheater has a lot of echo. Volume was still too high for this recorder's mic and probably the recorder also.
Concert Review

 

Nightmare Before Xmas 2003
November 30th 2003 - Cleveland Ohio - Cleveland Convocation Center
BAND NAME TITLE TIME SAMPLE COVER
Korn Nightmare Before Xmas TAY004 62.17 1 , 2  
Offspring   TAY005 43.25 1  
Adema   TAY006 34.20 1  
Ill Nino   TAY007 1 cd not yet transferred  
Story of the Year   TAY008 18.50 1  
Equipment - microcassette recorder with internal mic.
Notes - A little better than my first recording, but still not good. Not as overloaded by the volume as I was much farther away from the stacks. But also got a lot of echo off the ceiling and walls. I did learn something though. Since I had forgottne my mic in the car, I had to go with the internal mic on the recorder. So basically I was holding it in my hand all night. About half way through Korn, I got tired of that and stuck it in my jacket pocket. The sound actually got better doing that.
I think the layer of material muffled enough of the sound to keep from overloading the mic.
Check the difference between the 1st and 2nd samples of the Korn set to see what I mean.

Iron Maiden 2003
August 5th 2003 - Cleveland Ohio - Blossom Music Center
BAND NAME TITLE FORMAT SAMPLE COVER

Dio   TAY002 51.47 1  
Motorhead   TAY003 38.38 1  
Equipment - microcassette recorder with external condenser mic.
Notes - sound is total crap. Mic couldn't handle the volume or the base. A contributing factor was probably the fact that I was in the 3rd row. So I was very close to the stacks.
