[QUOTE="docutech, post: 3031051, member: 565065"] As a relatively new member to the Gateway Audio Society circle here in Saint Louis, I was very fortunate to be invited to a professional recording session. The recording session took place in the cathedral of a church. A 100 year organ was the center of attention along with an amazing organ player who blew all of us away. He performed a number of pieces that allowed us to experience just what this thing could do. It was AMAZING. He didn't even use sheet music. Every piece performed was played from memory and practice. The organ literally rocked the house! The event lasted about 2 hours with a brief intermission. Air conditioning had to be turned off for the duration of the event, so things got quite thick in the cathedral. Nevertheless, we were all blown away. Among us were some rather famous people such as Alvin McCall (Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra) The recording was done in stereo mode with boom microphones erected pipe level. The purpose of this recording session was to experience the live performance in person and then listen to it on various setups by way of CD (which will be ready in about 2 weeks). I am very excited to get my hands on this disk just to see what sort of difference I will hear. I will post pictures tomorrow as I am beat and ready to hit the sack. More to come... [/QUOTE]
