Am I the only person on erath that prefers audience tapes to sbd's?
Can someone let me know if this official release sounds awesome?
I had a recent experience with a 4-schoeps mix from Alpine Calley this summer where the audience sounded superior to the soundboard. I was playing it at home on small speakers, and the sbd swallowed up the drums, and the definition of the parts wasn't well defined.

The audience tape sounded incredible by compare in this situation. The audience recording was also spectacular through headphones. Not so much when I tried to blast that recording through a decent car stereo. In that context, the highs were shrill, the low end lacked depth, and the crowd seemed a little chatty and obtrusive.

So that's the scoop. Know where to play what when, and that's how it can roll.
