I would like to inform you that the mastering of the CD is complete and needs only approval from Dennis to start the ball moving. I have two master discs actually. the first is with the rather dead accoustics of the church and the second with added ambience via lexicon. (about 0.8 to 1.5 depending on the requirements of the music.)There has been some question about the recording gear used. here is the list: the microphones were Bruel & Kjaer models 4006. These are very omni directional and are among the most flat frequency curves available. They were spaced about five or six feet apart. The do a spectacular job in addition when spaced as little as 8" to 12" apart. For the second part of the evening , i used two Schoepps colette series mics with the No. 5 preamp mates with the cmc no. 5 capsule. This is a two way cardiod / omni selectable. i chose the omni settings. The mixing board was a Ramsa (panasonic pro audio) board no.WR4412. The recorder was a sony pro PCM R700 with super bit maping. Headphones were Akg 240's. All or any of you who want to get a preview listen are welcome to invite you'r self over in small groups of one, two, or three. My listening system consists of the following: Martin Logan Monoliths..These were the Prototypes and were owned by the late William Hoekstra, the St. Louis Symphony grammy winning recording engineer. Bill Worked with Martin Logan to assist with overall sound balance refining. They came into my hands when Bill later upgraded to a prototype of the Martinlogan Statements. My Preamp is the Pass Audio X-1. I use a Threshold active crossover. Amplifiers are Pass labs X 350 and Threshold S-500. CD units are sony pro CDR-66 and a rotel cd player. Also included are Sony Pro DAT PCM-R 500 and Sony Pro PCM R700. That is my basic primary system. John
