I just finished Transferring the following shows from my Masters:
Mighty Mighty Bosstones 03-15-95 Board Aid II, Big Bear, CA Aud
Biohazard 03-15-95 Board Aid II, Big Bear, CA Aud
Both of these are from my Masters and if my memory serves me correctly
I've never circulated these. If anyone is interested in these
recordings, they'll both fit on one cd-r.

Hi, I have 2 things for sale:
1) Denon DTR-80P Portable DAT. Brought second hand 1 year ago, was
working perfectly until it started saying "DEW" every single time it
was turned on. Now the lid won't close (need some screws tightened
somewhere to fix). In reasonable condition, but not in working order.
Email me for photos and more details. $50US.
2) I am selling my MASTER DAT of Green Day live in Auckland, New
Zealand 5/3/05. CSC>Sony TCD-D8. Unreleased recording, I haven't given
it to anyone. Good recording. Email for sound samples. Selling because
I am getting out of the game and I don't have time to convert it fully
and trade it. $Offers.
Thanks
Karl

Ben:
That's my recording, and I've been using the QTC-1 mics for 3 years now
(maybe only 2 ... time flys when you're having fun). These mics are
awesome, but you have to be VERY careful with these mics. If you notice
almost all my recordings are done with a mix of 3 or 4 microphones. The
main mics being my EW SR-77 mics. The QTC-1 (as well as every other omni
microphone) woks great at close range or in quiet environments like
acoustical or classical music. However, for rock shows, they aren't that
great. If I gave you a copy of that show with just the QTC-1 mic source,
you would notice that certain instruments really stand out as well as a
lot of the chatter from the audience around those mics --- they were
placed in the balcony for this show. Meanwhile, other things you would
notice due to where the mics were, is that they sound distant. By that I
mean you can tell these were back a bit. These are great mics and used
extensively for classical recordings and acoustical instrumentation,
their clarity and lack of coloration is second to none. If you did a
survey of classical engineers I think you find that they either own the
Earthworks QTC-1 mics or the DPA 4006 mics for recording.
I use these at louder shows to fill-in the bottom end of the SR-77's,
since that's not the strong point of the SR-77 mics (there is a pretty
steep drop off at 100 kHz which affects the amount of bottom end you have
in you recordings). By adding the QTC-1 mics you also get that "surround"
sound since you're picking up audio from 360 degrees, which can add a lot
to a recording.

Unless you plan to run a mix of of microphones (in which case you need
either a mixer or a multi-track recorder), I would not recommend just a
set of any omni microphones. But, if you're looking to add a omni to
your bag, then it's tough to beat the QTC-1. However, they aren't cheap!
A matched pair will set you back over $2000.
Feel free to drop my an email if you have any additional questions. I can
also put together a couple of samples of just the QTC-1 mics for you if
you want (including a sample of the Hornsby show since it was recorded on
the Zaxcom Deva IV multi-track recorder).
