Show Notes:
About the halfway point of Bono's book tour, second to last in the US. Bono's voice in good form, mind in good spirit, and a good and respectful crowd. Glad I went and saw it, although I think just one show is good enough for me.

Recording Notes:
The PA for this show was on the low side, and the dynamics were very wide. Bono goes from a whisper that you can't hear unless you're next to the speaker to a loud yell of a rock star. Then since the PA volume is low, crowd noise can overpower the music easily. Thankfully the wireless recordings help greatly in that regard, putting a direct line from Bono's microphone(s) to your ears. That said, the wireless cames with a bunch of extra sauce. All four folks on stage to a high level of click track and verbal cues during the musical sections of the show. In particular, several songs have a "one" cue on every downbeat of the song. Very annoying for the outside listener (can't blame them though--not meant for outside listening). I've spent a lot of time scrubbing those counts and clicks. Sometimes you'll hear a little left over, or some artifacts when the cue overlapped with a spoken word. Can't be perfect, but much better than the original source in my opinion.

1 commento:

  1. Well, Bono alone didn't quite convince me, not even with this good sound. Of course, U2 fans have the best tapers I've ever heard, impressive.
