I consider miking too closely a member of the same family of afflictions, though you're right that overly-close mike placement has been with us a long time. Compression and limiting have also been around a long time, though one was more limited in the past as to how far one could push the technique. With modern digital processing, where any and every technique is just a mouse-click away, it is inevitable that it has been overused. If you give toys to boys, they will play with them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
