Perhaps you should produce some recordings.


My remark was in the context of the sound itself, not necessarily the music.

I don't feel qualified to produce recordings, of any type of music.

Have you seen photographs of Frank Sinatra's recording sessions? He
performed "live", in front of the orchestra, in what I assume was a room
designed specifically for pleasing-sounding recordings, and without (IIRC) a
plethora of mics.

Your last paragraph reminds me of something I've been dying to do for
some years now: Experiment with recording techniques that involve
only as many microphones as humans have ears. Seriously! Think about
how we hear andt it'll make sense.
