In Reply to: Many of us seek to self-medicate with sound rather than music. posted by John Marks on May 3, 2015 at 12:18:33:
>>In order to capture the kind of information (amplitude, arrival time, and phase) that is needed to create a convincing illusion of individual instruments in a stereo soundfield, the microphones have to be so close that the timbral balance they pick up is not natural when compared to what you hear at a live recital or concert.<<
I'm certainly not a recording engineer, but based purely on my long-time listening to both live and recorded performances, I don't believe I have ever read any analysis that matches this one in terms of defining the problem concisely, cogently and persuasively. Thank you, John! I'm very glad you hang out here.
