The first 3 recordings are the Barbera Upright Bass pickup. They were recorded in 2 track stereo so
that the direct out from the pickup system can heard along side a simultaneously
recorded track with a microphone. The right channel is just the acoustic
instrument sound. A Neumann mic was placed apx 2 feet in front of the
bass at bridge height. The left channel is direct to the board from the
Barbera Bridge. A basic pre-amp was used for impedance matching purposes.
(a Fishman model B) Left and right channels were recorded simultaneously
with all EQ controls set flat with 100% isolation between channels. No
post processing was done on this recording other than the conversion from
the original .wav format to a compressed MP3 format.
