Annihilation Time- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 11/26/23 Schoeps Audience Audio Master

I have a ton of footage AND a multitrack soundboard to mix of this, but I figured that I would post this fast as I am still buzzing from this set. I like the band, but I had no idea that the band brought that much intensity to their live shows- it was unbelievable. It sounded great in the room, which is rare for Gilman- it is a tough room to make sound good. This recording is totally flat- no post processing. Vocals are a little light but I can fix that in the multitrack mixdown… hopefully. I think my gopro video angles were rendered unusable early in the set, when everyone went completely ape shit to the intensity they were seeing on stage. Most intense show of 2023 for sure for me.
Good on Gilman for making this a 4pm start- I was back home before 10pm!
One last thing- why are these guys categorized as a hardcore punk band? They are super fast NWOBHM riffs to my ears.

Annihilation Time- 924 Gilman, Berkeley Ca 11/26/23 4K UHD Multicam with Multitrack Audio Incomplete

I previously posted my schoeps audio recording of this show and wrote about how amazing this show was- the band was on fire and the crowd was going nuts. Now that I finally learned to mix multitracks, here is the video. It turned out pretty good. The only issue is that 8 minutes of the show is missing from this version- the hard drive at Gilman that stores the multitrack files filled up and stopped recording during Annihilation Time’s set. We missed about 8 minutes in the middle of the show. If anyone is dying to see the full multicam with 8 minutes of inferior audio in the middle, let me know. I can post it but it would be a pain in the ass to splice it all together.
Hope you like the mix. Maybe I should have bumped the snare up a bit.
