Compared to Iain, Keith is a technical genius.


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.

Here, you don't need to hear it (you really don't - it sounds like it was
recorded over the phone) - a quick *look* at it will tell you all you need
to know:

(Just *seeing* that has you reaching for the Balance knob, don't it? :-)


*I have had no 'technical' training, education or work experience in
electronics whatsoever, but it didn't stop me building 2 valve amps, a 3 box
valve phono stage and half a dozen pairs of speakers, though....

Keith. Have you listened to the track in question?
It *must* be a hoax!!!

Even dear old Arny couldn't make a pig's ear
of such a simple job (particular when he has
done it 1 000 times befo-)

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!

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...??

Paid for them? Yikes! They were robbed!
Disregarding the musical performance, the technical
standard leaves a great deal to be desired, on any level.

Any first year student could surely do better.

If you had been content with the fact that you were
a volunteer recordist at your local church, then I am
sure the material at your link would have been met
with enthusiasm.

But, you claim to be a professional, which takes us
up to a whole new level of expectation. A
professional is hired to produce a professional
result. Tell me honestly, Arny, hand on your
heart, do you think you have done this?

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.

But it sounds nothing like a live performance!
No soundstage, no depth. Thin, brittle and distorted.
Surely no-one was consciously "looking for" that?

A SATB choir recording is one of the simplest projects
one can be asked to do.

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

It would interesting to hear you substantiate that claim..
Please post a link:-)
