The Realistic Painter

"Completely true to nature!" - what a lie:
How could Nature ever be constrained into a picture?
The smallest bit of Nature is infinite!
And so he paints what he likes about it.
And what does he like: he likes what he can paint!

Hello Andy,

I think your approach to audio leaves out the very important fact that recording (and reproduction) are very limited and that sound monitoring and reproduction goals are not one and the same.
For this reason, the pursuit absolute neutrality (focusing more on the 'physical' aspects of the sound) will do little in the way of recreating a performance, since a recording is nothing more than a synthesized version of the original event. I would describe this neutral sound as a skeleton with little or no flesh, therefore lifeless.

Cheers,
Tuga
