A philosophical post... I hope it fits well in this forum... <SNIP Happens> Many would agree that one likely goal of a studio recording is to present an experience to the listener that could not necessarily be achieved on the live stage. However, to what extent should we really go in striving for this degree of perfection. May raise some ethical questions as well... Perhaps that will be enough to stir the pot... any thoughts? Take care, Josh |

CAN- The now defunct expermental Kraut rockers used to have an expression/philosophy that "man is imperfect, therefore, man can only achieve pefection by accident." As a result of this concept, the majority of the work they produced was improvised rather than practiced. It would seem to me that someone fixing/perfecting tracks after the fact gets further away from perfection with every human intervention. Waht Jimmy Miller said... |

He's also the guy explained to me to 'roll red' on everything because we could always erase it but if we didn't record it, we could never get it back. I miss him greatly. |

Where a lot of the problem today lies is that younger people no longer have great live performance as their point of reference. Rap music is an exception to this and I'm certain this is a lot of why it has become so dominant. |
