Read again what I wrote. Key element "Getting a bit closer ...". Most people writing about "live" on forums have no idea what a real instrument sounds like and it becomes clear that their reference for sound quality is their mother's kitchen radio. I just want to get the most out of playback and my refernce for certain sounds is creating them myself.
Well, people do have ideas what a real instrument sounds, it is not the point. The point is that live sound is not a reference for playback. It is reference and it is not. Live sound has own properties and own expressive forms. Reproduced sound has own properties and very own expressive forms. The common denominator between them is human perception and this perception might be moderated in many different dimensions. Now pretend that we formulate some kind of matrix that would encompass ALL perceptional dimensions in absolutely perfect way. Furthermore, we build a playback that would deliver an absolutely analogues impact to listener that live sound does. So, you would be very surprised to learn that Sound from live event and sound from playback will be different. This reason why I say that when audio people are trying to make this playback to “getting a bit closer” to live sound then they deceive them and undertake objective that are mistaken to begin with.
