Love the picture. Beat-up urban backgrounds just work so well for dressed up people!

Re: Updated Webpage & Upcoming Recital
Just a quick BuMp! Concert this Saturday, and I am looking forward to seeing or meeting some fellow tubenetters.
And, thanks for the compliments on the pic - Luke Redmond took the pics for us (it was a very cold day, believe it or not) - he did a great job. I hope we sound as good as we look

Re: Updated Webpage & Upcoming Recital
I have added clips from the recent recital... I was delayed from video and audio work by my daughter, but I can't blame her

Can't get any clips to play. What's the secret? Thanx.

Re: Updated Webpage & Upcoming Recital
Thanks Bort!
The secret is my standard setup (detailed elswhere, but I don't remember where I've posted it in the past). I use a Zoom4 cartiod condensors for the stereo field, and then added the natural room with a Rhode NT2 omni directional. The trick in the mix is to find the sweet spot when mixing the stereo with the omni track. Video was recorded on my iPhone, but the audio from that was junk as it was all echo based on the mic direction.

Re: Updated Webpage & Upcoming Recital
I used the Alex F for the Ne Irascaris and the Volte. The Dahl was my Mira 184 C.
Thanks guys. I had the easy part, I am very thankful for the quality of my colleagues.

Re: Updated Webpage & Upcoming Recital
Thanks. That's exactly what was wrong. A few days ago I had to uninstall Quicktime player when iTunes didn't work on my PC.BVD Press wrote:You might a new plugin. I did and it works fine now. Quicktime for my little MAC...
Very nice sound files Ben, thanks for sharing.
