What were you recording? Did you have a good-sounding space to record
in? I agree, in a bad room close-miked mono can sound better that an
attempt at stereo miking.


Clarinet and piano, but not at the same time....

Why not at the same time? Much better musically. Or was the same
person playing both?

Oh, wait a bit. We heard some of your stuff a few years ago, haven't
we? Wasn't there some Edward McDowell? I expect both the playing and
recording have progressed since then. May we hear the latest efforts?

I'd be very interested in hearing stuff you've recorded outside your
front room. You must know a hall with a good piano, you must know
some other musicians? I'd love to hear your wife playing live with a
pianist in a good acoustic. She'd enjoy the musical interaction too.

Somehow, living-room recordings always SOUND like living-room
recordings. And multi-tracking is so musically restrictive for music
that doesn't fit to a click.
