Post Subject: Correcting ProblemsPosted by Paul S on: 8/20/2023
So far, the “better” my reproduction gets, the more variable recordings get. I mean, they are all over the place. Considering this alone, who knows how a given recording needs to be manipulated in order to “correct” it? Plenty of problems I hear seem to be beyond fixing, apart from “smoothing out” ones reproduction. My experience with pro sound is that they mostly believe they can correct any problem by manipulating the sound, including allocations, even allocations in concert halls.  I have yet to hear better Sound or Music from full processing, and I for sure want to hear it before committing time and money to implement it. Of course, while my notion of “good sound” includes “appropriate” ambience, I do not put this ahead of pitch, timbre, texture, pace, any number of other “variables”. As I close I am thinking about the giant MBL installations I have heard at shows and a couple of stores.

Best regards,
Paul S.
