I'd describe most TV music shows as a concert. Not 'recording'.

Yes, a pal of mine who is a sound supervisor for Swedish TV uses
the phrase "sound gathering"

Oh dear. Then he should immediately become a 'sound engineer' or whatever
you think suits yours/his ego, since he's obviously not happy in his job.

He has got as far as he can get in sound for TV. Per is a sound engineer
in every sense of the word, having a degree in broadcast technology.
The next step is a desk job. He would be one of the "suits" whom you
fear so much:-((

Me? I couldn't give a stuff about 'titles'. Because they mean nothing.
And what's more I *have* done your 'job'. I wouldn't claim to be as good
as you at it, but I'm willing to bet you haven't wouldn't have clue about
most of my work. Or even to be able to make a fair fist of it.

My interest in is music, not dialogue.
If you have worked in music, I am amazed that you went back
to dialogue recording.

Funny thing is I can think of many decent TV sound guys who have been
asked to mix things for later release to the commercial market. But the
reverse doesn't really happen. Because in general those who make
commercial recordings just can't work at the same speed or under the same
pressures.

Perhaps because our principle concern is quality not how fast we can
turn the job round. or maybe the remuneration is insufficient? :-))

Iainiainian. Stick to your own field and don't criticise something you
know f**k all about.

My point was that TV is sound is often not good. It may be good
enough, and also perhaps as good as it can be, given the
circumstances in which you have to work.

I am sure that you will agree with this.
