Richard's live recordings


These are some recordings I've made (for personal use), mostly in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, both local and touring artists.  If you enjoy these clips, please support the artists by attending local shows.  Remember to buy CDs at the shows too!

Most of these are "ambient" or audience recordings, captured exactly as the show went down.  Occasionally I add "soundboard" (direct feed to the PA speakers), either to bring up the vocals, or to overcome audience noise ("chatter").  But the best recordings are obtained by a great set of mics at the best place in the room.  If you see me at the club wandering about listening to different places in the room, or standing way out in front of the speakers, that is because I'm "searching" for the sound.
