In Reply to: Re: \\\I've come to the conclusion that the best we can do is strive for accuracy to the recording///............... posted by markrohr on February 26, 2006 at 06:49:29:
...........I got ‘that’ because I said in my initial post \\\IMHO the only way to know if a recoding is “accurate†is to be present when it is recorded/// And YOU replied \\\No, alas. A common misconception///As far as I am concerned ‘IMHO’ is exactly that. From my perspective and context of what I mean I stand by my belief.
So hence, my choice of words when I ASKED you the question.
You say \\\Now, calm down and have a nice read/// Your comment seems a little condescending to me and based on an ignorant premise. (I am calm and as cool as a cucumber)
You say \\\The fact remains, however, that even if you recorded yourself on known equipment in a known room, you can't know how the recording sounds.///
Of course, from one particular perspective and context that is true. However, from the perspective and context I am talking about it is also a fact that I can send you a recording of an unknown artist playing an unknown instrument in an unknown room using unknown recording equipment and even if YOU conclude you like the recording and the sound; YOU will still have no idea, other than a guess, if the sound of the recording has any relationship whatsoever to the actual sound of the performance.I think it is obvious we are looking at the subject from totally different perspectives. I think I will now go for a float in my boat. :o)
