Recording Notes: Zoom H2n in the “usual place” maybe 5′ from the stack, maybe 5′ high, gain set to 3, mics spread to -1, recorded as .wav but converted here for Internet use via Emastered.com, where we added just a snitch of stereo spread, added some lows and mids, additional mastering with Audacity for the fade and labels, and just a touch of reverb. Internet Archive files are .WAV, unaltered.
