Post Subject: Any artform could applyPosted by rowuk on: 1/22/2015

This has to be the single post that has most moved me since coming to the goodsoundclub.

I think the difference in cooking is that good cooks all have equivalent equipment (knives, pots, spoons) and create the experience through their choice of software (the ingredients) and the unique processing. The fine cook can destroy a prejudice about a particular vegetable, meat, dish. In audio, I think it is tougher because a "Romy" has and knows the software intimately - and has well defined views of the processing procedure. Is there really ROOM for demolishing someone so far into the art/process?

I think not. I think playback is a lot harder to turn into art concieved by an artist painting with specific colours on purpose. The tools (including the room) are not consistent enough. That does not mean that things cannot be better than our hosts playback, it just means that the cook needs to have comparable depth, creativity and the means and will to succeed.

For the moment, my audio is a very lonely sport. The taste is much different than it used to be even although the "ingredients" are very consistent.
