Wish we'd had a similar recording set-up for New Year. Hopefully I should be 
able to set up an in-house system to record gigs at my local venue in a month 
(or so ;-). Interesting sound quality on this piece. The top end is almost 
cuttingly sharp to my ears, it sounds like you must have had the room sound 
almost perfect, or you've been up all night fixing it. Can't say I'm a huge 
fan of Zappa's lyrics although they're slightly improved by not having to 
listen to him sing them ;-]

The difficulty I have with introducing Linux tools into this sort of situation 
(populated by Windows wide-boys and occasional anal Mac users) is that I'm 
not a technician, therefore my technical suggestions tend to get dismissed.
Plus it would involve training someone else to use Ardour who would rather be 
using Wavelab *gnnn*. I shall persevere.

cheers
