Prairie Crossroads Blues Society Blues Jam 2019-02-10

The February Sunday Jam at Pipa's Pub, hosted by the Cobalt Blues Band, sound by Cat Overwater.

Video and audio by Mike Feldman , Champaign, Illinois, USA.

I got there and set up late, so I missed the opening set by Cobalt, and the first jamming group (Doc Shredd et al?).

Audio is via a pair omnidirectional condensor mics (Audio-Technica 3032) placed on eiter side of the floor monitor to pick up vocal. The pre-amp/recorder is a Sound Devices 722. The balanced output of the SD722 is fed to a Radial direct box that has a mic-level unbalanced output that goes into the microphone input of the Sony Alpha 7S MkII camera. I shot at 1080p but compressed the video down to 720p. The sound tracks are the camera's recording with a slight bass-boost and normalized. In case you wondered.
