   I booked a room. I didn't know Raleigh has a First Night celebration. There will be all kinds of music going on downtown. Donna the Buffalo is headlining.

   I made this trip last year at the Pour House, driving down from CT and it was worth it!! I can't make it this year due to kid obligations, but I wish I could. Raleigh is awesome and the first night studd is pretty cool to check out before the show. Mostly family oriente, but fun none the less. Enjoy all! No tapers there last year, but looking forward to hearing this year's show!

    Cool! The wife and kid will be with me and I'll be checking out some shows downtown before the Yarn shindig. There is a new bar less than a block from the Berkeley with 66 taps. Pre-show at the Cherry Bomb Grill?

    I believe I'll be doing a multitrack of this one (just waiting to hear back from the venue) and getting into town a little later than I would like so I may not be able to meet before the show . Gotta run snakes and get the splitter set up. First beer is on me at the venue fellas :D
    
    Looking forward to it!!

    Taper dschram1 over on taperssection helps Marianne with shows and is also good friends with the sound guy. You should be able to do whatever you want. Onstage mics or multiple tracks from the board should not be a problem. You probably won't have to run your own snakes. IIRC, the ceilings are pretty high and there are doors on either side of the room that would mean anything run on the floor will be in a traffic area.
    
    With the way it sounds in the Berkeley, onstage and board feed will be a very good idea.

    Perfect. Thanks man! I'll reach out to him as well. Maybe we will meet for a pregame if thats the case. Do they usually mic the drum kit there do you know?

      CommentAuthorhoppedup
    • CommentTimeDec 29th 2010

     
    Only taped there once. Pretty sure the drums were mic'd. It's a decent sized room, but it is a rectangle and the stage is on the long side of the rectangle. How many channels are you running? Mulltiple DR-680s?
    
    I'll bring my stuff for coverage's sake, but I will probably end up having tape envy.

    Only show I taped at Berkeley Cafe, Great American Taxi:
    
    http://www.archive.org/details/gat2010-09-16.mtx.flac16
    
    Audience source was boomy, SBD was very dry and vocal-heavy. It turned out pretty well when mixed. I'll see if I can find the SBD file and check to see if the drums were mic'd.

    I'll be running an alesis HD24. Everything else is out to record local gigs I already had commitments for so I'm piecing together enough equipment for one more gator case to make it work. Should be interesting :)

    Haven't done anything but listen to it yet, but I should have this one done by Thursday night. I've only listened to the audience source. It sounds good for the Berkeley. It does get a bit chatty, though. Some of the banter is priceless.

    I'm on it, folks. Doing a matrix of a 3 hour show is tough on my crappy old desktop. I only missed a minute and twenty-three seconds of audience source and that was all jam at the end of Dear Mama. If my PC does not crash, I'll have it done today.
    
    It's exporting from the audio editor now. Just gotta track it, flac it, and up it.
    
    edit: Tracked, flac'd and uppin'. May be tomorow a.m. before it's live, though.

    The Berkeley is a tough room. The sound is not ideal. I've taped there twice now and I don't think I'd tape there w/o a board feed. The two matrices I've done there turned out pretty well. It's funny, I don't have this show on my computer here at work and archive.org is being a bit fussy this morning for me, so my plan to listen to it again today has been thwarted.
    
    bgreen's multi-track should be pretty sweet.
    
    Much like Dickie Dunn, I tried to capture the spirit of the thing.

    Mixing the multi track now. Ran into some issues with blakes guitar overloading in the pre so it's gonna be way down in the mix. Still sounds decent, but not where I wanted it to be. Got 5 more shows planned over the next 2 months so we'll get a perfect one yet.
    
    Your sounds great Hopped.

    bgreen, did you check with anybody at Nebula Mastering or OBX Brewing Station to make sure they are cool with taping and multi-track taping, as they provide the service to the bands that play there for a fee?
    
    The guy with Codex Sound that does the shows at Catawba Valley offers recording/mastering services, but went above and beyond to help tapers out with a board patch. I figure it may not be as easy everywhere.
37. • CommentAuthorbgreen

    Not yet. Nothing is set in stone as to which shows we are doing so I'm gonna nail down the details and talk to the guys later this week. The OBX show may be a toughy, looks like they do all the booking there too. Never know though.

    Heres a real quick down and dirty headphone mix of the NYE show. Still tons of work, just finishing up ducking in and out the vocal tracks but it's getting there.
    
    Not sure why the two acoustics came in so hot and clipped on the input. If they hadnt...... well, I guess ya learn something everytime out.

    That's right, JWall on sax. My wife was standing next to a couple where the guy was doing all he could to convince the girl that it was not Andrew playing sax. She didn't believe him until Blake introduced JWall.

    I got that package out late of course but the delivery was supposed to be monday according to USPS. Must be the weather. Anyway, I got a new laptop today and have doubled the processor speed and octupled (512mb to 4gb) the ram. Hopefully some shows will start flying out of here now. Andrew sent me some Yarn shows, so looks like I know what i will be doing with my free time. After tonight's half-price beer and burgers of course.
    
    I think still owe you the Ashland and Charlottesville shows. And let me know about that Donna the Buffalo show.
