Ah, but it shows that you can never get to the best seats if a recording is
going on as its already taken with the microphones..
OK I know iits not so, but it does make one wonder whether on a really good
sounding recording, exactly where the mics are, and if you were there, would
it sound as good.
Not I'm not dangling on a wire suspended from two balconies 20 foot up, not
even if it sounds good!

I was listening to some Haydn the other evening. It sounded crap.
The soundstage was artificially wide with poor localization.
The vocals were muddled and lost in the orchestra.
Some very sour noises coming from somewhere - there was so much
reverberation that the previous few notes
must have been interfering with the current one.

After a small adjustment, things were perfect - I got up and took a seat
at the front.
That's the last time I arrive late at the cathedral and have to sit in the
back row.
Live music is alright but it's not like the real thing. :-)
