Chris, so far none of your sources have stated......

exactly which recording they have edited has over 400 edits. It gets kinda tiresome when people say things like I know of "....one classical recording which has over 900 edits on it...." but won't say what that recording is and how they know. Why didn't the guy from Channel mention which of his own label's recordings has over 400 edits on it?

For a 60 minute cd to have 400 edits - which your Channel guy said was actually a low figure - there'd be an edit every (and I do mean EVERY) 9 seconds. 600 edits would mean an edit every 6 seconds, 800 edits would mean an edit every 4.5 seconds. To use kind of a middle # of edits according to your sources, look at your watch's second while listening to, say, a recording of Brahm's 3rd Sym. and see what an edit EVERY 6 SECONDS for the entire duration of the piece really means.

Please tell me what the hell is being edited every 4-9 seconds on an orchestral recording. I can only repeat what I said last time.....I have literally never heard a live performance by a world class orchestra, chamber ensemble or opera company that would require 400 edits to sound damn good. I know some people are Pro Tool wizards, but its hard to imagine that editing a classical cd played/sung by world class musicians 400-900 times would result in an improvement.

I guess you'll think I refuse to accept reality, but having been intimately involved in some editing/mixing sessions using Pro Tools, I'd have to see the edits on the screen to believe the "average" recording of world class orchestras/conductors has over 400 edits, let alone 900.

I hope I don't own any of 'em :-)
