then you don't know what crap sound is. Sorry but the idea that anyone has been to "hundreds of live acoustic concerts andnever heard crap sound" is load of B.S. Really? In hundreds of live concerts you have never sat in a bad seat or gone to a bad hall or heard a bad musician or heard an instrument that was out of tune? Never? Bull ****.

there is still a characteristically live component to the sound despite those shortcomings. My wife is a professor at a local college where there are many opportunities to experience live music. Some is quite good - I thoroughly enjoyed a concert by the Katona Twins where I was seated not twenty feet from them. The only reinforcement was a small acoustic shell. Superb.
I've also heard a range of student players play there. While the performance ability isn't symphony level quality - the sound experience itself is nevertheless that of live, unamplified music. Talent alone is not a critical factor in perceiving the aspects of the live sound experience one hears.

I definitely disagree with this. A string instrument played off pitch sounds bad. A poorly tuned piano sounds bad. This happens sometimes even with the most famous soloists. For all the hair splitting that goes into audio, if any piece of gear were to distort to the point of playing audibly off picth it would be considered broken.
We all know where the bullshit is coming from. Another self appointed expert who has no idea what he is talking about. What are your credentials to back up anything you are saying. My acoustic concerts were 35 years at orchestra hall listening to the Chicago Symphony pretty much in the same seats. No crap sounding concerts. I know crap when I hear it and especially when I read it. I spent 25 years listening to live musical instruments out in the studio. I know what they sound like.

35 years and you claim you never heard bad sound at a concert or any other time you listened to live acoustic music? Clearly you don't know bad sound when you hear it. If you have had that much exposure to live music you HAVE heard bad sound. Your claims are truly laughable.
Never said that. I have heard plenty of bad sound at live amplified concerts. Never at the Chicago symphony concerts. I have also heard many bad sounding recordings. Of course in that case you don't know if the original performers sound bad or the engineers have done a terrible job. You seem to be totally fact deficient. You do not really want to discuss anything. Just state your opinion and everybody should agree with you. Almost everybody on this thread has disagreed with you but I doubt you will learn anything from that
I have no more time for this. Have a nice deluisional life
