Madison Square Garden
New York, New York

Recorded and mixed by: Christopher Jones

Source: 5.1-Channel Surround (24-bit / 96 kHz multichannel LPCM)

Lf / Rf: DPA d:dicate™ 4011ER (handmatched MMC 4011 cardioid and MMP-ER preamplifier) > Sonosax SX-R4+ (non-U.S. version with unconstrained headroom; @ 24-bit / 96 kHz)

Center: DPA d:screet™ 4061 omnidirectional miniature microphone > Sonosax SX-R4+ (@ 24-bit / 96 kHz).  Center channel minimally included in mix to make less audible potentially distracting crowd noise captured by the omni.

LFE: Material below 100 Hz from left channel of DPA d:dicate™ 4011ER pair band-passed to LFE.  LFE minimally included in mix (LFE peaks around -30 dB) under presumption that full range speakers will be used for playback.  No rolloff in mains on account of LFE band-pass.  Rely on playback bass management as appropriate.

Lr / Rr: Schoeps CMC1L4V (handmatched MK4V cardioid and CMC1L preamplifier) > Mogami XLR Interconnect > Sonosax SX-M2D2 integrated preamplifier and analog-to-digital converter (@ 24-bit / 96 kHz) > AES / EBU TA3 interconnect > Sonosax SX-R4+ (@ 24-bit / 96 kHz).  Rear surround channels derived from forward-facing backup microphone pair; rear ambience imputed using impulse response of large arena in Altiverb 7, tailored to sound similar to dedicated rear channels recorded at Madison Square Garden by me in the recent past.

Location: Section A, row 1; microphone array elevated approximately 2.5 meters

Notes:
Most of this performance played acoustic, as Steve Ferrone and Carlos Ricketts tested positive for COVID-19 before the show.

Thanks to band and house crew for the accommodations.
