H.H. Prabhavishnu Swami: Sri Rupa Manjari Pada

By popular demand (shout out to Pulkit), here's another track from H.H. Prabhavishnu Swami's 24 May Bhajan session.

It's a crash-mix of Sri Rupa Manjari Pada. I basically copied the settings from the last mix I did, verbatim. The last mix had a mrdanga, but I've just applied the same EQ, effects, and gain to the tabla. In future, as long as the mics stay where they are I can just do one mix, then reuse it. The only thing to do then would be to ride the faders and do some live gain adjustments while listening to the track, to make it "breathe". I don't have time for that now - if I get my free Faderport, or even better, a 16-track R-16, I'll start doing that.

On this track Arjuna really let rip on the tabla, and Sridhar on the flute/saxophone. They'd warmed up on the previous tracks and the energy in the temple was peaking. Another two other factors - I'd gotten the hang of manipulating the FOH (front of house) sound, and had also pushed the faders up. At this point we were maxing out the PA system (300W Yamaha Stagepas). From memory this was the last track of the night. Somehow it's been dumped to my hard drive as 15/17, so there are two more tracks to come.
