@boomerbillone Ishksbibil on Bass @ 18 in '79 https://youtu.be/VPx3qjwyVww Toronto Alberts Hall with Peter Appleyard. Is that a clarinet in the opening? Sounds like it on my Galaxy S7 (free phone) and 3 years old........ Need I spend $$$ for accuracy? |
I mixed sound for Patricia Barber a couple of years ago...acoustic piano needs no tube amps (!), just 2 high quality condensers. She asked us to remove the top of the Steinway grand completely which was a pain, and she wanted her own monitor mixing board right next to her. Done...Trio (bass and drums) and man...she's astonishing, one of the greats. |
wolf_garcia ... Who was responsible for all of the digital reverb on the original mastering? The audiophile reissue is much better. And by the way, that drum solo on, I believe side two is fantastic. Frank |
Hjghly detailed systems for me lose out in musicality. It is less natural.It might be that at home we got used to certain sound, that is different from live performance and we follow it? Perhaps we also try to compensate for music compression by adding some noise or distortion (as distorted guitar is more dynamic than clean Jazz guitar at the same level). I'm trying to get clean reproduction (accuracy), but if sound even with added distortion, noise and harmonics sounds natural/musical then it has fidelity. Fidelity is not accuracy - cannot be measured, being subjective. |
