OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was a special show in an intimate venue to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of Los Lobos as a band. SLO Brew was a small club in downtown San Luis Obispo on Garden Street where I have been fortunate enough to record many shows over the years. I ran two DAT recorders at this show, one off the board and one from my Neumanns hung from the front center ceiling post. As per the band’s policy I am not allowed to release the soundboard recording, so the public gets the audience tape. I had borrowed a set of 50ft XLR cables from Bill Gaines Audio in SLO and unfortunately one of the XLR connectors didn’t seat completely into the jack on one of my microphones. By the time I realized that I was only getting one channel it was too late to fix the problem, as the mics were mounted on a little portable shelf I had made to hang high above the crowd’s head on the front center post. Fortunately Dennis Orr had a fix for that which would make the recording into a ‘faked’ stereo image. SLO Brew held a maximum of 500 people so it was a nice intimate venue to record in. Thanks to the Wolves Of East LA for their generosity in recording their band, and thanks so much to Dennis Orr for the awesome job he does at post production.
