This disc contains many tracks that were chosen for reasons other than musical performance as a primary criteria. While very useful to briefly demonstrate capabilities of playback systems, most tracks are excerpted and are not complete compositions or movements. Some tracks are demonstrating 4.0 surround sound capabilities and experiments. A few tracks might include unedited takes from an up-coming commercial release.
About the IsoMike
IsoMike (Isolated Microphones) is an experimental acoustic baffle system, to address the interference of intrachannel sounds that results in compromised fidelity. For these 4-channel recordings, the microphones were suspended on four arms, separated by IsoMike baffles.
Most baffles absorb sound from mid- to high-range frequencies; lower frequencies are more difficult to absorb. Here, the unique shapes of the IsoMike baffles are advantageous. As lower frequencies flow around the heart- or egg-shaped baffles, they are scattered, effectively dissipating their energy.
Eliminating line-of-sight between the microphones seems to lower some fidelity robbing cancellations, this reveals a layer of extreme detail and a sense of increased sensitivity. As such we took great care, therefore, to reduce the noise level within the auditorium during the recordings.-
About the recording
Use caution on first playing as some of the tracks do reach nearly 0dB. Several of the tracks might scare the cats!
All recordings were made at a low enough level to assure that no clipping occurred, therefore you may need to raise your volume control more than when playing some commercially available CDs where the volume has been normalized and/or compressed.
Since there is NO limiting, the dynamic range might surprise you, your system or your pets. So be VERY cautious the first entire playing so as to not damage amplifiers or speakers.
These tracks contain no gain changes or other such processing, so some tracks will be at a softer or louder level than other tracks. However, the dynamic range within a track is the same as the original live performance.
Small groups may have a performer – to – microphone distance of 10-15 feet, larger groups would have performer – to – microphone distances up to 60 feet. At no time were the microphones in a closemiked configuration. All recordings were made at Weber State University. Performers were students, faculty, staff and guests of Weber State University www.weber.edu
