I don't know how long he's been running it but it sounds to me like it's been well recieved by the house engineers and musicians.

Sorry, I have caused some confusion. That song was not recorded at the bar. Liquor Lyles is part of the same group of recordings that I've been posting for the last month.

I shall persevere. Show up as an engineer and not a musician--not at your own jam sessions, do it for someone else. Nobody will tell you how to do your job. Engineering live shows is a great experience. We're really not after the room when we do this sort of thing. What we're doing is splitting the snake and sending the mic sources to the house and a recording setup. We'll use a couple "house" mics but it's only to capture audience noise. ron > cheers > > tim hall > http://glastonburymusic.org.uk > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
