Mummydogs- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca 12/16/99 DAT Master SBD Roland MX5 Live mix Thin White Rope
Here’s yet another one of those Roland MX5 mixes that I used to do. Even though I tried to fix the mix live, it was still heavy on drums and vocals so I rebalanced it in Izotope. Sounds pretty good!
Here is background on the MX5 (nerd alert):
So back in the late 1990s/early 2000’s, I had the nerdiest audio setup ever. I had some custom patch cables made that would tap into the insert signals of the soundboard without affecting the sound in the club. I would then use a battery powered mixer (Roland MX5) to mix the show- boost guitars/snare, pan guitars in stereo and the like. I would string a headphone cable outside the club and listen to the mix, then go back in the club and adjust, then repeat. Patrons on the sidewalk of the club would look at me like “who’s the nerd?”. Well, here’s the output of some of that work.

Dee Dee Ramone- Old Ironsides, Sacramento Ca 12/12/99 transfer from master VHS tape Ramones
Huge props to Ken Doose for getting this one. Out of hundreds of legendary shows at Old I, this was one of the most legendary. Unfortunately, the tape is a bit damaged and it was taped in EP speed (the slowest speed which sacrificed quality). I might take another swing at this one later on with a JVC VCR that is supposed to be the best one for EP playback.
I was not expecting this one to be this good, as far as angle and lighting. It’s really easy to watch. I might also work on the audio on the re-do. I think Ken has a board tape of the set as well.
It’s only about 30min and cuts off.
