Hi Chris - I won't respond as detailed here, since there are complaints of the thread being hijacked, for which I apologize. All I will say is I cannot agree that miking is better now than it used to be - the more mikes they add, the less it sounds how it actually sounded, and the more the mix plays into it. These recordings where everyone in the orchestra has their own mike usually come out sounding nothing like the real thing - the blend is simply not correct. It creates many more problems than it solves - the most egregious thing being that the mikes are simply placed far too close to the instruments. There is also the issue that modern day digital recordings still routinely cut out all frequencies supposedly out of the range of human hearing, which many, including myself, feel has a detrimental effect on the sound. But this is already longer than I intended it to be - perhaps we can continue this conversation in another place - feel free to email me through the system here, if that's possible. Supposedly audigon has got rid of that feature, I don't know about this site.
