Let’s start the day with the bonus post. Thanks to Scott Bradley for telling me what to do! I think this was when Jonathan was in Sparklehorse so an additional bonus for you CVB fans.
Unfortunately, the recording was super muddy and bassy. When you would use early stealth mics (such as Sonic Studios or Coresounds) in big theaters or arenas, you would often times get something like this. I think that’s why people started upgrading to Schoeps in the 90s.
