Description:
Last week, I went on a vacation to Italy, and it was an incredible experience. I explored Saint Peter's Square, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, the city of Sorrento, Rome, and Venice Island, plus a host of other fascinating cities in the area. The entire trip was truly remarkable.
I managed to capture hours of recordings using my ear-mounted microphones connected to an XLR system I carried in my backpack. However, at Saint Peter's Basilica, I was only able to record on my iPhone. This was due to strict safety and security rules, which included metal detectors and wand searches. I was only permitted to bring my phone inside, and my clothing had to cover my knees with nothing exposed. For those unfamiliar, Saint Peter's Basilica is the largest church in the world and one of Catholicism's holiest shrines.
Despite these limitations, I was fortunate enough to attend a service. The main vocalist had an incredibly angelic voice that I absolutely had to share. While I wish I could have captured it with better microphones, this iPhone recording was all I could get. It's still something truly amazing to hear.

Side note, If anyone wants the apple QTA file the iPhone made for mixing and 4 channel support, let me know. I'll hand that over as well.
