Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

My sarcasm aside

There is almost never a "live acoustic event."

And when there is, - it really does suck...

I was really horrified the first time that I went to the SF Opera house, - what a nightmare of wretched acoustics, poorly amplified voices, indiscreet microphones + amplification, poor orchestra sound, and incredibly noisy old women in the audience: would much rather have a mediocre CD recording any time.

I am sure that sometime, somewhere, there's a fairly decent, small, chamber orchestra, playing without too big of an audience, and without someone having a cold or a child with them...

Really, - there is really no such thing as "live, unamplified" music.

Unless one counts the "folk girls" who don't really play music, but strum two cords on a horrible sounding Yamaha acoustic guitar in a coffee house while reciting bad poetry?

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
