Live music is great! A typical classical music CD has 800 edits, a typical solo CD, such as guitar, lute, harpsichord, etc, varies, but the high and low numbers for the albums I hvae worked range from 450-2200 Now 2200 edits is a a very large number, that's 2200 twangs splats and squeeks that have been removed. Basically, a correction has been applied every 2 seconds. So, live music is better. By going to a real concert, you hear something that is real, and support musicians directly.
