So bugged it didn't sound as best as it could from the start. The Thurston recording sounds good, though. I'll share that one first. As for the FiRe App, I think I read somewhere that it records automatically so you don't have to worry about setting your levels correctly, but the downside of it is that records only in mono, apparently. I am not very well informed because I haven't used it myself, so please take my words with a grain of salt.

12 db low is okey dokie with the M10, and actually should be your target. It gives you a lot of headroom for unexpected loud spots and it's easy to boost in post. (this is given that you are recording at 24 bit :O )
Looking forward to hearing these sets! Were they noisy at all or pretty straight up songs n' strums, like the NYC thing?
Edited to say, would be happy to post process for you HBJ, I has about almost all of April and first part of May off on vacation, damn I love my job!
