Olympus LS-10 and Bob Schneider at the Saxton Pub...

I just received my Olympus LS-10 audio recorder. This is a a high end digital audio recorder that can record CD quality audio in the field. I have been attending many events such as concerts and have wanted to make audio recordings. My $50 Sony IC recorder just didn't have the quality I was looking for. The only thing that thing was good for was making personal audio notes for my own purposes. It wasn't even good enough for archival purposes and I had difficulty getting clear recordings in noisy environments. Music sounded awful. This $300 recorder can create 96 kHz/24 bit .WAV audio files which are beyond CD quality. It includes 2 GB of built in memory with an SD card for expansion. The quality of this recorder is beyond anything that I have tried and will take documenting events to another level.

I went to the Saxton Pub to hear Bob Schneider do his weekly Monday performance to try out this recorder. It was great and it captures the feel of being there. I recorded this in WAV format and converted it to MP3 through iTunes.

Here is a short 1 minute clip of the Saxton Pub so you can get a feel of the atmosphere.

Here's an mp3 audio clip of the first few songs from tonight.

Music: All Good Things (Come To An End)

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard. I really like this song and can't get it out of my head. Nelly Furtado is absolutely gorgeous in this video! I want a girl like that. :)

Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.
