Tough decisions in real life...I was hopeful!! Maybe they will skype so at least he can see the ceremony!!! Or skype a congrats message later from Adam! I actually am quite relieved (and surprised) that Adam is putting himself, his health and career first !    Adam strikes me as a total workaholic and career oriented, I think Sauli has put some balance in his life but, not even Sauli could alter his priorities, unless it's some extreme situations...of course, pure fan observations here. I was on the fence about Cuckoo upon first listen, now with each listen, I liked it more and more...yeah, it's growing on me! but Chokehold is still my favorite. |

So my son's friend has an interview with Adam for Spinner magazine. I told him I had a long list of questions I could send him, lol. Would he ask Adam who wrote Chokehold since we have no idea? lol. |

How to get good sound recordings at music concerts! Thanks so much to all the Adam fans who have recorded such wonderful videos at concerts, promos, etc. over the last few years and posted them to YouTube for all to enjoy!!! And also thanks to all the fans who have worked so hard to edit the audio & video to make these recordings better!!! I know we would all love to have great audio quality in these recordings as Adam’s voice is so magnificent. So, I’ve taken the liberty to do a little web searching to see if I could come up with some recommendations for getting good audio on concert video recordings. So, here are my findings. The sound distortions on video taken with the typical consumer quality cameras and camcorders are due to the internal microphone not being of a good enough technical quality to record the loud booming bass you hear at most pop/rock concerts. While most of these video cameras now have adjustable controls for getting great HD picture quality, very few have any adjustable controls for audio quality, not even a basic recording volume control. The usual recommendation was to use an external microphone (these can be costly) if your video camera has provisions for this (most don’t). I suspect that most concert venues might frown on this type of semi-professional looking equipment at events. On the low tech end, I saw a recommendation that covering the internal microphone with a fabric band-aid would help reduce the bass distortion, but have no idea if this really works. If anyone tests this idea, please let us know if it works. Then I found a gem – the Zoom Q3 ($119) & Q3HD ($289) video recorders with reasonable good sound quality for the price (U.S. Amazon prices quoted)! These recorders are about the size of a double thick iPhone, have 2 semi-external microphones (records in stereo) that are visually hidden by the design of the recorder, and are marketed to concertgoers. You can read more about the audio feature at: www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/q3hd/ www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/q3/ I hope some of the fans going to Sonisphere or Moscow are able to purchase one of these video recorders. Be sure to also get extra AA batteries & a 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory card so that you can record the whole concert in high quality! Maybe I should have bought stock in this company before posting this message ;-) I'm going to Sonisphere and I own a Zoom Q3HD I plan on doing my best to get close enough for good video but far enough away to get optimum audio. I am also looking at purchasing another higher end unit, but I need to make sure I can get in without security hassling me! Wish me luck! |

The Q3 recorder is the kind that as used to capture the Fantasy Springs concert by tinafae. Amazing quality.
ETA: amazing audio quality. She never attempted video with the recorder, which turned out for the best as the audio was worth the sacrifice. Others got excellent video, and voila, lambossed put together new and improved versions of video with tinafae's audio plugged in.
Bless those of you going to Sonisphere to capture delicious audio recordings. I for one amd truly excited about the prospect and if there is anything I can do to support your endeavor I will.

I remember Adam saying not long ago in an interview that those who know him understand that right now career has to come first. And that they understand this because many of them are artists, too. |

Hey Guys,
Charity Water $66,630- 21 days left
What's our plan? Are we still going for the unrelease day? I know it's a ways off, however, we should be slowly but surely spreading the word and building support. Should we challenge all of fandom to see if we can crash the site again?
peace&love

I wish they would extend it until the album release date. I think that would be a cool idea. I also wish Adam would tweet the link one more time. |
