My point about recording an actor making $20M and the amount of money a musician gets paid was not what I was talking about. If you have an actor like Tom Cruse, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson making $20M there is a boat load of pressure ...
You keep talking about the highly paid actors that you claim to work with. That’s nice, but it really doesn’t have anything at all to do with audio. There’s no correlation between an actor or musician’s salary and the difficulty in recording them.
Here’s what you have to understand, in an orchestra you set mics as you have for years ... In movies you generally have 2 or 3 actors moving around a set ...
I’ve recorded orchestras and concert bands. I’ve recorded solo voice. It’s a lot more difficult to get a good orchestral recording. Frequency range, dynamic range, there’s simply no comparison. It’s silly for you to try and debate this.
An audiophile prefers musical amplifiers over analytical ones.
Audiophiles have various preferences. You can’t lump them all together.
