Jennnn Jnennn, thank you jenen for proving to us, jeen, that, you hate menn and equalizers jnenn, etc, you know the drill. Suggestion for this thread: Let's bracnh out, and carry the different subthreads of this thread to new threads. This thread is getting to be soooo long that just opening up its tree takes some 5-6 seconds! which is way too much time for a busy-schedule-guy like me self. Thanks. |

No, but you have said a lot of strange things about equalizers in the past, Fella. IME, you're pretty hysterical about them. And BTW what do I mean by hysterical? I mean that your actions w/r/t equalizers are dictated by emotions, as opposed to reason.

A blanket, meaningless spout. Recording engineers do all kinds of things. They use mikes to record. Should one use a mike at home to record their records? Adding background tracks to your recordings may help too. Recording engineers do this as well. Les Paul would put his finger on the tape spool to get different effects. That's apparently worth a try. Recording a solo backwards and then playing it forwards has been done too... That's not the sort of recording that I do, or am interested in. My primary focus is to create satisfying recordings of live performances that have fidelity to the origional live perforamances. Other forms of recording are fine for people who wish to pursue them. I enjoy some recordings made that way. I just don't do that myself. That doesn't even begin to discuss chorus, phase shift, harmonizers, aural exciters, and so on, or different effects from different mic placement. Only the last item - mic choice and placement has any interest to me of all the items in this list. I hope Arny will let us know how to use these effects in our home recordings as well. Unlikely. High fidelity to Arny appears to mean absolute accuracy to the original recording (unless it doesn't). Absolute accuracy is an unreachable goal with current technology. |

oups.com You got it. Advice from Arny: use equaliser at home. If the shoe fits.... Equalisers are good. They are problem-solvers. If you don't have the problem they address, then obviously don't use them! Proof: engineers use them all the time making records. Thus we can conclude that equalizers have a role in the reproduction of music. So you use equaliser at home to deequalise what they equalised. If what they did does not concur with your preferences, what other options exist? That will restore things to absolute accuracy. Gratuitous insertion of the word absolute makes this an excluded-middle argument. That what in Krueger-pedia is also called Hi-Fi. Nahh, this post is about Mirabel's dogmatic posturing and distortions of the truth. |

I'll go along with that. Well, effects or lack of them. Are these effects then more valid than adding chorus or reverb electronically? Depends on the sonic believability of the electronic means. Lately, the electronic means for adding reverb have gotten to be pretty good. I can't say that about chorus. One *approved* (in some quarters) means for recording music in bad-sounding spaces is to close-mic the instruments and voices to attenuate the adverse affects of the space, unwind some of the adverse effects of close-micing with eq, and provide better-sounding reverb artificially. |

![]() Signal said: I think the best we can do is to reproduce the finished recording as accurately as possible. Euphony is the better goal, because listening to music isn't a formal exercise. If that means the "performance" continues at home, there's nothing wrong with that. The goal of accurate reproduction is often misplaced in my opinion. If you seek immersion in music and sound, accuracy should be a secondary concern. That horrible sound you hear?

Euphony is the better goal, because listening to music isn't a formal exercise. This may or may not be the case. For example, I produce a fair number of recordings of performances that are made at formal competitions. The people who listen to these recordings have a formal interest in them. If that means the "performance" continues at home, there's nothing wrong with that. Agreed. The goal of accurate reproduction is often misplaced in my opinion. Agreed. In fact recordings are often anything but accurate and rather intentionally so. For example, as soon as a badly-sung or played note or measure is *corrected*, the recording stops being accurate. That wouldn't happen to a recording of a performance at a formal competition, but it could make sense with a recording of a live performance or studio work that is being produced for the purpose of entertainment, or self-actualization. If you seek immersion in music and sound, accuracy should be a secondary concern. I think that some of the most immersive recordings around can be found in the sound tracks of computer games. It is also some of the most highly-produced recording work there is. Significant EFX may be applied during the operation of the game, based on the action. |

oups.com Going mute in your case means shutting up when unable to answer. As you wish Mirabel, it is true that I am sometimes at a loss to answer idiocy. I showed not for the first time that your ABX for component comparison is piffle, never validated by experimental research fit for publication in a professional journal. You've got me confused with someone who cares. Cruelty is not my thing. If you did not provoke me I would let you splutter to your heart content. . But you must make irrelevant noises- it is in your nature. So... Ya got to work on that self-awareness thing, Mirabe;. You've described yourself to a "T". |
