This is a fine early Tori show held in a small, sold-out recital hall.
Setting the recording levels was a challenge during the first song, “Sugar”.
The volume was first set too low, and was adjusted at the 30-second mark.
Then around 3:00, Tori shot the meters into the red. What range on that girl!
After that, a good medium recording level was set for the rest of the show.
Overall, there was a polite and very enthusiastic crowd for this show.
No talkers near the mike, but loud applause from the entire audience after
each song.
I lowered the amplitude of the audience’s applause after each song,
which results in (I think) a great recording.
Hope you enjoy it.
