I recorded several elevation shows...Good luck...

i brought a Sony ECM-DS70P mic....
i need to buy an extension cord though...because it plugs directly into the MD recorder...so i'll get heaps of interference, when i go to change tapes...

I recorded several elevation shows...Good luck...

which shows did you record?....would they be avalible on www.u2bloodredsky.com?

Recorded 4 shows

April 17, 2001 (the one missing Walk On) on a borrowed Minidisc
Nov 13, 2001 (DAT)
Nov 18, 2001 (DAT)
Nov 19, 2001 (DAT)

I taped the opener at all 4 as well, but missed the first song of PJ on April 17.

They are/were? all on bloodredsky. Even though I had requested no MP3's. I no longer even bother requesting that, because people don't care what I "request" anyways.

Since this forum is for U2 related questions/trades/etc I'm moving this to Bang & Clatter.

could you tell me if, and what editing programs you used? if any, because my recordings turned out a little distorted at times, and i would like to try and remove that

thanks in advance

Hello,

I'm no taper, but I'm interested in it (maybe one day when I have more time + $). Anyway, if you haven't visited Scott Zumsteg's page yet, you should do it now, as he gives some great directions! (for a layman like me anyway ):

but the site is very handy thanks again
