Post Subject: Cut off his hands.Posted by zako on: 6/22/2010

Unicorn,s comment is correct,,We barely see well planned stereo,,, a good example is,,,i have in front of me a recording done by RCA,,ALso Sprach Zerathutra,,,recorded with 32 micraphones,,,and they claime on the cover its a stereo recording???? I took Phiffer to task (director of that recording)He appologized,,in his letter knowing true well it could have been done better with a couple of mics,,,but they were following at that time a race to outdo Doitcha Grammaphone..and there TONEMEISTER engineers ,,in implimenting as many mic.s as possible,,,,I called him back and suggested he shoot his engineer,,, It was the worst recording they ever made,,,There were so many microphones in that studio it looked like a dense forest of mic stands... Another stupid recording done by john attkinson of Stereophile Magazine,,,Of a pianist with two mics under the lid of the piano,,and two mics on a single mic stand 10 feet behind and above,,mic,s pointing down at the performer and the shiny slick floor...I took him to task for claiming it to be stereo recording.. You cant get a stereo, recording the stage floor,,, The german engineers are the worst at Grammaphone with mic,s hanging from the ceiling arch above the stage pointing down at the floor plus dozens of so called sweeting mics in front of each section of the orchestra,,Timing and phase not even corrected,, Stereo?? pha,, My phalosaphy is let the engineer only set the level, then cut off his hands.
