I was just listening to some old shows and I realized just how much I **** miss the matrix recordings. Was there something added to the bands taping policy concerning SBDS. All I know is a lot of the rooms they\'ve been playing recently have not been kind to the DAUDS. I\'m hoping this will change...lord how I miss those boards!!!

I think that the band alonmg with the said tapers are working on a Disc Logic project.

That would be nice.
I wish disclogic had a subscription service. Hell, I wish EVERY legal download website had a subcription service (unlimited dlds for 30 bucks a month)...

maybe you should get some better speakers....

i was happy with all the shows i taped in 2005 except for the webster show when dobz was away. the sound was great last year and it got better as the year went on. i thought my recordings were especially good at all porters 6/10 and after, all iron horses, lionsden 6/3, toads 7/1. there werent really any audience recordings i was unhappy with in 2005.

a lot of times people prefer soundboards because they sound cleaner. i taped breakfast at the middle east in 2004. i was the only taper and i walked in as the band was getting on stage. my only option for taping was to plug into the board really quick and hit record. i got a clean signal, but the only channels that were really going through the board were the keys, vocals, and a little bit of guitar. the drums were low in the mix and the bass was not really even there, but people were still telling me it was one of my best recordings.

the signal was clean, but not everything was there. i really couldnt even listen to it because it sounded so dry and it was missing some of the channels. no one really noticed that though. i dont see why people like dry sounding sbds when dobz usually has it sounding great in the room. i would rather have it sound the way it did at the show.

I agree for the most part, with the execption of some of the stuff Dobz does record and mix down.

But I love to hear the crowd and the infamous "whistler" whoever that might be

soundboards arent allowed for tapers anymore. they havent been allowed for 2 years, but some have still gotten out. i guess any great show with a matrix or multrack recording will be considered for disclogic, but it doesnt seem like the band is going out of the way to put stuff up there because there are only 2 shows up there and they are over a year old.

i have been ready to buy stone church from disclogic. where the hell is it? i dont think as many people will buy them if they cant be released soon after the shows.

Nothing compares to those matrix recordings. What I love about those recordings is the fact that you can hear each band member equally. I\'m sure it\'s my own preference in this case, but I really wish there were some better sourced shows for the more recent stuff.

thats the reason why i am happier with the audience recordings now more than i was a few years ago. the mix is the room is usually good, so the recordings will be good.

i\'d rather have a matrix than a board, but usually an aud over a matrix (unless the matrix is done really well). the show i caught for nye this year sounded *great* in the room, but since there was a last minute scramble to get anyone to tape, we ended up with boards. after having one of the greatest nights ever (my favorite band un-broke-up AND practiced!!!), i simply can\'t re-listen to the show because its so painful to the ears. small room boards = no bass, minimal drums, way heavy vocals and distant guitar.

that being said, chris, you have made some very nice tapes this year! but a board matrix of some of the better shows wouldn\'t have sucked!

I like many of the older recordings!

The few times I made it out to tape the band this year I was very happy with the results.

I was much more active at the begining of the year. I sold my pre-amp so I am currently w/o a full rig.

I am with Chris I prefer the AUD recordings but of course I\'m biased as I am 1 of the folks recording.

My best b-fast recording was either Beardslee in May or maybe Strangecreek (same weekend weird) I wouldnt say the were the best performances from the band but the recordings came out great although beardslee was out of control.

Newtown hall was a great sounding room but again not the greatset from the band.
