Hope you don’t mind me asking this but is the recording and mastering stuff you do purely a hobby or away from that do you work in that sort of stuff? Obviously that’s a personal question so no need to answer I’m probably more asking how you got into all the recording stuff really.
    I had no real intention of selling or releasing for money. But everybody has a price, so after some needling I said I'd release this particular soundcheck recording for an exorbitant sum, and only if it went to charity I believe it (PP).

    It's a hobby for me. The closest I get to "selling" is if somebody hires me to do a concert. And I'm very selective about that. Plus if I strike out, that's a known factor. So you're paying for my time and expertise as opposed to a product.

    EDIT: Oh, I was offered $1000 by a bootleg company for a Stones ALD back in 2002. It was intriguing at the time (I must have been 16 or so) but I declined.

    It’s pretty great actually that you’re happy to turn down such large sums and even putting a charity forward instead of benefiting yourself. It must take some real strong principles but also I’d imagine a real love for what you do. Final question since I’m on a roll tonight lol, do you know anyone else who can take the counts out of IEM’s and if so then without compromising the quality significantly? (Ok that’s 2 questions, I’m not asking you to name people btw) I don’t think I’ve heard an iem recording from anyone else where the counts are taken out.
  4. I knew a few people, and they're pretty much following my method.

    I think one or two of the Xavel 2017 had the counts removed. It can be done with just Izotope RX. Although I have some other tricks that make it a bit cleaner than just straight RX.

    I think I’ve heard counts not being present in certain songs with IEM’s that they have been in others but I don’t think I’ve heard an entire show without counts except yours, I might have to check out some of they 2017 recordings now though since you’ve mentioned it. Anyway thanks again for the insight, I find it all really interesting probably because I’m not great with all that stuff myself really so it just all seems crazily advanced to me and mad that an individual can go to a gig capture a great recording and mix/edit it to such a great level . Mad but in a brilliant way.
  6. Just gotta start somewhere...takes years and lot of insanity to get to that point.

    Only time I would have seriously considered was a very large donation (the amount quoted at the time was $27,000), which would have went to Planned Parenthood and none to me.

    The Radiohead goofballs just flamed me instead and demanded I release the recording anyways.


    "So You're Saying There's a Chance..." To get those Mofo rehearsals released!!!
  8. $50,000 donated to planned parenthood gets you a full take of Mofo 2005.
  11. Oh don't make me mad that cut makes my heart break.
  12. Hello! Who has the flac for this performance
    U2-A Decade Of Difference-Clinton Foundation 2011-10-15 (flac)? I'd love to have a collection in high quality. Probably not only me. Thanks in advance!
