One thing that I'd like to see change is the insistence on close-mic'ing, and reproducing the sound accurately as it's heard inches from the source of the sound.
Especially on newer recordings, I've noticed an awful lot where you can, e.g., hear the spit rolling around in the mouth of a singer. This is certainly an experience I've _never_ had in a live music situation. I've also got a fair number of recent recordings in which the string noise on an upright bass is at times louder than the notes being played. This is again something I've _never_ heard in a live situation. Perhaps some people enjoy this, and, in some sense, it's _accurate_, but it's not an effect I personally enjoy. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32374 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
