A few days ago there was some pretty epic weather here in MA (long thunderstorms and down pouring, and also two tornados). When I heard it was coming past my hometown, I set up a mic in a few spots around my house (combination of inside and outside) to get some decent clips of the storm, so...

museav- I should have spent a bit more time getting those numbers correct for the OP. I was working by memory and the venue I had in mind is slightly smaller, and i left out its size and distance between electrics. I'm sorry i caused more confusion. As far as the 3:1 rule, the chorus is on...
