In Reply to: The Problem Is.... posted by Todd Krieger on February 24, 2006 at 20:54:30:
.........Hi Todd,……..IMHO the only way to know if a recoding is “accurate†is to be present when it is recorded.
IMHO there are two main ‘types’ of live music and countless subtypes.
*1* Live un-amplified music
*2* Live amplified music
Each of the above types of music can be played in;
• Large theatre/concert hall
• Smaller theatre/hall
• Small club/music room/bar
• Dedicated studio
• Open air in a stadium
• Open air in the open
• Open air on a road/concourse/ paved area
• Open air on lawn/dirt/sand etc.I have heard music played in all of the above situations and it all sounds vastly different to me in each situation, but of course it is all “live†music.
My above example shows sixteen different types of live music without going into the relationship of where the listener is compared to the band. IE – front/back/side/ centre/ above/below/ etc etc.
Also, so called musical “accuracy†can only be determined if you KNOW what the music is meant to sound like AND sound like in your own room. –example – If you place a 5 or 6 piece band, of any persuasion, in a small domestic living room (12’ x 14’) it will in most circumstances sound pretty damn awful. My point is – what the hell is accurate and to who and where? – I suspect it means countless different things to countless people.
This type of thread can be interesting but never really achieves or solves anything.
Just my two cents worth,
Enjoy your evening.
