which festival did you record?

AudioCourses · 4th July 2007

Yes does sound like fun, Glastonbury just fnished here in UK, MUD would be an under statement.

Celebrate Freedom at Southfork Ranch in Dallas Tx. This year was the first year in 17 years that was a 2 day event. The rain kept alot of people away, last year about 150k were their and this year about 75k (which is still more than the 74,991 people I thought wouldnt) Interstate Battery was the biggest sponser. We were hired thru GMC Network (Gospel Music Channel) out of Atlanta to do the audio tracking for rebroadcast. I'll post some pics when I get the time to figure out how to size the files down.

Plenty of mud indeed...

In any event, how did the recording come along?

The tracks turned out great, I spent all day (ALL DAY) monday transfering to the clients 2 1tb dual mirrord drives (we recorded all 25 hours of the show), and they had a hotshot courier waiting at my door at 2 am to take it to the next flight to Atlanta for posting, it seems they wanted to have this done for last saturdays broadcast (they would have had to work thru the 4th to make this happen I guess). I dont know how it turned out I suspect it was hurried. My Dish Network doesn't get the GMC network so I didn't get to here how it turned out, (this is a problem we allways face, we track it and you let someone elese finish it) so hopefuly someone did a good job. I'll post some more pics later.
