In the Thread: My playback can’t play loud.
Post Subject: For real instruments louder is a colorPosted by rowuk on: 11/9/2018
Practically, a modern orchestra plays more "safely" for a recording. This most certainly limits the tonal palette from any or all of the instruments. There is less for audio to reconstruct.
If we are talking about more "vintage" recordings with a gain riding engineer, remastering could restore some of the more obvious manual compression artifacts. As the original colors respective the original dynamics are present, we would have at least something to gain.
Me being a trumpeter, I teach color to my students. We have a very red or orange fortissimo with lots of overtones. The question that I would have for playing loudly is what the listening room does with the pressure. A strong trumpet in a smallish room is not friendly...
