Dear David,
Thanks - that's a very perceptive comment which I have taken to heart,
despite the fact that the majority opinion seems to be in favour of
reverb. Perhaps we are so used to hearing commercial CDs with
compression, added reverb, etc, that we expect everything to sound like
that. The more I listen to the "uncontaminated" version, the more I
think I prefer it, but it does suffer from the fact that the microphones
are only .5m away and as you say, that affects one's style of playing.
I'm afraid I've just joined the club of which you are already a member
(endless experimenters). By the way, Martin Eastwell is also a member
of this club - I wonder what he thinks?
Best wishes,
Martin

I liked the ones without reverb, by far. The reverb sounds like you're
in a
big room but play behind a screen: all muffled and shy, not at all
like the
room acoustics would invite you to play!
Just my two eurocents (which many shops already don't accept anymore,
anyway).
David

Subject: [LUTE] piece of the month revived
Dear All,
I have revived the Piece of the Month feature on my site. It now
includes
MP3 files. No reverb added this time - compare them with the files
on my
recordings page and let me know which you prefer:
