Better Time

All right! Decent audio for the reggae-infused "Soon You'll Be Mine" by One Gig at a Time on Saturday. If you checked out the set's opener and weren't impressed with the change in sound quality halfway through, this worked out much better.

Audio 'gremlins'

On a positive note, the opening of One Gig at a Time's show Friday night - "our first gig in that configuration," says band leader Steve Cunningham - came through the video camera's sound inputs fairly well, as the players grooved on a major/minor riff reminiscent of Grace Slice's "White Rabbit," or the "Spanish Jam" the Grateful Dead often performed in the '60s.

By the time the jam segued into the original composition "Chasing Sunsets," various clicks and pops had begun to overwhelm one of the input channels. That wasn't good news.


To beat the "gremlins," I ended up switching the audio track from stereo to mono at the start of "Sunsets." The quality takes a dip, but it's preferable to hearing all the interference I was getting through the connection to the soundboard.

Anyway, here's 11-plus minutes of the start of One Gig's performance. Just be prepared for the audio adjustment in the middle:
