I should add that what is remarkable about Ray's demo and recordings is the microphone technique he has developed. Or I should say the lack of technique. Recording in a large venue always requires the engineer to sort through the trade-offs to find the mic arrangement that works best. To my ears, Ray's IsoMike system is the first that doesn't sound like a trade-off or technique, it just sounds like the performers in the room. I can't emphasize enough how hard that is to achieve for a recording engineer. And Ray told Wes and I that he purposely unveiled his technology and approach to the world in a way that allows it to remain in the public domain from now on. Free to all those who wish to use or develop it further. I love this man.
