...and the leather shoes that some insist on wearing, sigh. Incredible. You have a problem with people who insist on wearing leather shoes. That's such a California notion! Well it's tough being a lute player in California. I trust that for David's gig they at least stayed on the feet- live performances and restless shoe leather are suddenly becoming a real phenomenon, ripe vegetables no longer in vogue apparently. I once had an event with velcro sandal fasteners mid performance- one of my devoted auditors pulled one off his foot; sounded exactly like the program being ripped angrily in half. When it happened again from the other foot I really had to wonder what was going on. Then a heavy glass mounted picture crashed to the floor in the second half of the concert. Life is still a bit wild out here in the West. DW -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Strange. I had a similar problem when I went fire walking in my brogues. Completely trashed them and my 'best' chinos caught fire. Bare feet and shorts next time for me!!

David, Can you give the TWV numbers for Telemann, like there are BWV for Bach?

I'm not sure about the background noise, probably the strongest single component comes from the Organ Bellows--that's about 15dB of white noise, plus, because it is entirely mechanical there is quite a bit of wood on wood sound from the stickers. Then there is the Bay Area airplane background sounds, and the leather shoes that some insist on wearing, sigh. Even though the church is not completely silent, it is rainproof--can be used during a storm-- and has a nice sound. I find this acoustic better than studios, even though,eg, Skywalker ranch is quieter, the sound is not as round. For me, the ability to hear the individual voices in the music is the primary concern; since the mics have a noise floor of between 10-12 dBa the noise comes from the acoustic ambience. For example, in the pieces with organ I have to boost the leader between tracks. The acoustic measurement data gives a noise floor of -55db with no organ and -40 with organ, which is a bit below average for church recordings that are not close miked. One can reduce the noise floor with close miking, but at the expense of the roundness of the sound. For the lute track I moved up two feet because I was picking up too much room noise, for the recorder tracks I moved out a foot or two on the spots because of the turbulence on the MK41s.
