    Zoom Recording

    Picked up a Zoom H4n for recording shows at the FOH board. From a show last week at Riordan Hall in Bella Vista Arkansas. A very nice quiet crowd. I added some loudness maximizer to raise the volume, otherwise it's my room mix. Second time performing this song. Check out the tone and...

    Show Tunes

    One the advantages of playing "show" gigs is the audience (not bar crowd) actually LISTENS. You can play songs that sometimes you can't at a drinking gig. And I can get great recordings. Here's a couple songs from just a show. When I'm 64 Eleanore Rigby

    Do I really Need a sub with nearfields?

    I'm using Event TR8's. My room (10'x12') is treated with 4 bass traps, some reflection and absorption panels. It's by no means a perfect room, but it's quite and still. Yet, sometimes, my mixes come up light on other sources. Do I really need to add a subwoofer, or do I just need to adjust my...
