Notes

A decent audience recording. Some moderate equalization and normalization made my mediocre first taping attempt much more listenable - I should've taken the effort to do this in the first place!

It still sounds quite echoey at times, although I can't do anything about that, but at least it's not a muddy, quiet mess anymore. A Question Of Time and forward don't sound as consistent as the first half of the recording for some reason - probably because I kept having to stand up to let people pass and that disrupted the mic positioning. If I had stood for the entire recording, it would have helped tremendously.

You can hear an example of the difference it made when I simply stood up and sat down during A Pain That I'm Used To - compare the beginning of the track to when I stand up around 1:43, then after I sit down; it gets much clearer when I stand for those few seconds, and muddier when I sit back down.

Bass frequencies are somewhat overpowering for Enjoy The Silence onwards, with the exception of Home, of course. I felt that further EQ for those tracks would make the bass too weak, however. I wish that I could say I achieved better luck with my next recording (taping Nine Inch Nails at 2013-10-30 Sunrise), but I got busted with my taping gear because I'm an idiot; but that's a long story which I don't care to recount.

Dave messes up a line during Soothe My Soul (listen at 3:05). There is a false start for Personal Jesus.

Many thanks to JLW for lending me his CA-11 mics and to everybody else who provided taping advice.
