Your memory fails you. Do you think I would ask you how to mic up a saxophone section, something I have done hundreds of times? LOL:-) You seem to be back on recordings. Ever go to a live event, Iain? Of course I realise you can't have heard big bands live in their heyday, but have you never talked to those who have? Listen to Ellington at Newport, recorded 1956. It's a perfect example. Why would a recording tell me anything about live sound? It was a live event. But all your 'facts' never answer the question. Just like the average politician. You answer the question you wish was asked. I have provided a large number of examples to illustrate my point about the superiority of multi mic technique over a simple pair for big band recording. You have provided nothing to disprove my statement. Iain |

This was all about a 50s rock'n'roll show with a seven piece saxophone whose performance was as much about choreopgraphy as it was music. I simply asked for your recomedation for reliable radio mics. Would you like me to publish your original email here, Iain? -- *My designated driver drove me to drink Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

... "David Looser" wrote in message ... "Iain Churches" wrote it also has no relevance at all to the subject under discussion - big band recording. Was *that* the subject under discussion? I seem to remember that it was the recording of a bull-fight crowd by a TV documentary crew! Indeed, and it morphed into the suitability and lack of suitability of stereo pairs, in various applications, then the Decca tree and then multi-mic for big band. It didn't "morph" into that, you pushed it there because you felt you were on safer ground with it there. I was talking about recording a real live event that wasn't happening for the benefit of the recordist. David. |
