Show Notes:

Cool special show for Def Leppard. Small club show for mostly industry insiders, plus a lucky 10 folks who won in the Sirius XM contest. None of the fans hanging out all day in front of the club were able to go in. Probably pretty similar to their setlist for the upcoming tour, with maybe a few more songs added. Has two songs off the new album which sound good.

Recording Notes:

Flawless recording pull off the wireless monitors. Used a total of 5 feeds for the matrix, although recorded more. Sirius ended up broadcasting the full show on their new Def Leppard radio station, but I wasn't a fan of that mix. Sounded muffled and overly compressed to my ears, but others may enjoy it. In any case, here's something different. Biggest drawback I could say on this recording is the crowd noise is very low, so it sounds pretty dry between songs. They also put a gate on the mics, so you'll hear it working as the crowd noise is at the gate threshold, making the crowd noise sound a little unnatural. That aside, it's a pretty good mix in my opinion.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn't spend any money on this.

Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.

Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.

Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.

Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself.

Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.
