Pretty decent recording of the Ani show that daughter Cassandra and I saw in late 2015. We had 2nd row seats in one of the front sections off to the right of the stage so recording conditions were not ideal. I think after a bit of compression and judicious EQ, however, this sounds pretty good. I dipped out a bit between 80Hz and 200Hz to eliminate some of the boom of the room and give Ani's voice some support and boosted some mids and highs to bring Ani's voice and guitar up a bit in the mix. In my opinion it sounds significantly best than the master on my cheap system, but opinions vary.

Mike and Ruthy, a bluegrass/folk duo, opened the show and accompany Ani and band on Which Side Are You On and Overlap with banjo and fiddle.

A great show, ruined at at one point during See See See See, however, by some drunk bitch who thought see was entitled to stand in the space of the seat I'd purchased as buffer to get a great recording.

Beautiful music, indeed. One of my favorite types of recordings is that of a chorus and specifically recorded in a church or cathedral. There is nothing like hearing the chorus and orchestra as a whole and then being able to make out the individual voices and instruments and reproduced in a holographic manner.

Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor are heavy weights in movie, documentary scoring and commercial production.  They are also great composers in their own rights:

Manufacturer News / Re: Magnepan 1.7 dspNexus 2x8 DSP Crossover project
« Last post by HAL on March 25, 2024, 08:10:28 PM »
The Magnepan 1.7's are playing music.

The super tweeter ribbons are disconnected since the one in the left panel is open circuit.  Running the tweeter panel 400Hz and up.  Sounds pretty good to me even without it for testing.

The speaker is EQ'd for flat response.  That can be varied to taste. 

The planar woofer to tweeter time offset is corrected as is the servo subs to the planars time offset. 

The dspNexus with the AKM AK4493 DAC's are running now.  Just updated the firmware in the EA dspNexus 2x8 with the AKM AK4499EX DAC's and will be swapped in tomorrow for listening trials.

This is the fun part!  🙂
