I have never
met anyone with even the most casual interest in sound
or recording who didn't own at least one.

The kind of casbles I am talking about are 50/100m
XLR/XLR or multiway 50/100s on drums. Just the thing for
a penthouse in Swiss Cottage or a posh town house in
Brighton:-)

You're changing your story, Iain.

backpedal, dissemble, backpedal, dissemble...

Well, my Hampstead penthouse (ok, normal house - much
better than a penthouse, I think ;-) has quite a few
100m XLR/XLR cables. They live in a cupboard under the
stairs most of the time.

We use riggers for that sort of lengths. ;-)

I have none, either at home or at work. The longest run is 150'.

My snakes are 150' x 2 (semi-permanently emplaced), 1x100' (semi-permanently
emplaced), and 1 x 50' (portable). They are all 12 x 4, 2 all XLR, the
other two have TRS returns,.

I make no claims about 'technical ability'* but if I were
you and had 'Domine Pt2' floating about the ether I'd
keep very quiet about it, especially after so much
bragging about all the 'pro recording' I'd done, over the
last few decades.

Trust me, those recordings were well-received by the people who paid for
them. They were looking for a certain sound and they've got it. Like it or
not, they were a reasonably accurate representation of the live performance.
A piece of friendly advice - never go to a choir or band festival. It won't
sound like the Philharmonic!

Do I know how to make a more commercial sound? Of course!

Without proof, there is no way to tell truth from lies.

A strange statement from a Christian :-)

This context is temporal, not spiritual. :-(

Iain made the claim - let him prove it. Otherwise, he's just talking
trash. Given his track record for talking trash - he's likely talking
trash.

BTW Iain's claim - that neither gentleman has ever owned a mic or a mic
cable was a stupid claim to make. It's a negative hypothesis and everybody
with a brain (which excludes many here) knows that negative claims are
difficult or impossible to prove.


The trouble with 'proof' either way is that you need to be able to trust
it - it's been a while since we saw a 'Blind Russian scientist watches telly
with the soles of his feet' or 'Yanks put a man on the moon and say it's
*not* green cheese' headline....

To me, that translates: 'It's crap. I know it's crap; I can do better but
the clowns like it as it is, so why should I bother?

Or am I missing summat...??

As usual, you are missing a ton of wisdom here, Kitty.

When you listen to recordings, Kitty you are looking for a certain sound.
What makes that sound that you prefer better than any other sound? Mostly,
you like that particular sound because it is what you have grown accustomed
to. Being somewhat down on self-awareness, you have deified your preference
for a certain sound. Nothing but that sound seems right to you. You tell us
this all the time. This partially explains your preference for vinyl kitty.
Vinyl in general is not very good sound, but its the sound that you have
deified in your own mind.

In the case of a HS choir director or festival judge, unlike what you say
with your posturing kitty, they are fully aware of the that they are not
listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing in the Mormon Tabernacle.

If I delivered a CD of their HS choir singing in their HS auditorium, that
sounded like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing in the Mormon Tabernacle,
they'd know that something was *very* wrong. Just because you kitty, John,
Iain and the Aussie trolls, are so stupid as to expect a HS choir singing in
a HS auditorium, to sound like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing in the
Mormon Tabernacle, doesn't mean that people who are self-aware have to
behave as ridiculously as you do.

OK, Arny - thanks for explaining all that, I think I understand now.

So it's more a case of 'It's crap. I know it's crap; I can do better but
it's a skanky gig, the clowns are nobodies and they like it as it is, so why
should I bother? Is that better??

Btw, I think I can see some spittle on your chin - you might want to wipe it
off....??

(Aside: How TF did this idiot ever get to see himself as a
*professional*...???)

No one expects your Baptist choir to sound like
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the choir of King's
College Cambridge or the Russian Orthodox
Choir of Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, but they *do*
expect a recording made by a a man who claims
to be a professional, to sound like -
a professional recording.
