Good? Good equipment, no problemo. Good performers, well not so much. Good
venue? Let's put it this way, the best places I've ever recorded in were
high school auditoriums.

As long as UKRA is dominated by trolls like Iain and Kitty, not a chance in
^%$# anything I ever record will be posted here.



I started off as an amateur too. I guess most people in the arts did.
And for a time I was king, applauded from all quarters, big fish in my
little pool. There were plenty of opportunities, plenty of toys to
play with, plenty of praise, almost no standards.

Some people are happy to stay like this. But, as you've never come
anywhere near to running with the big boys, isn't it a bit foolish to
pose on the newsgroups as such an expert?

How pathetic....

Yeah Kitty, it must really be nasty being you!

It's a high school chorus recorded in a nearly-empty
high school auditorium. It's quite clear that you would
deny the people involved with performances like this,
the benefits of a recording like this that they can use
for the purposes of instruction, or sentimentality. It
*is* a pretty good replica of what they sounded like at
the judge's seats at the time.

Fine. Remind us why you posted it?

It was so long ago I don't recall.

The .mp3 file I have is dated 27 May 2009 -
the date I dowloaded it. The link was broken
very soon after that.

Maybe, or perhaps you just bring out the *best* in everybody??

Anyway, forget all that - I want you to take a calming break from all
this pugilistic palavering and treat yourself to the 1st movement of
arguably the best, most beautiful Violin Concerto ever written by one of
our finest composers and played by one our very finest violinists:

http://www.moirac.adsl24.co.uk/shown...to-1stMovt.mp3


(Violin Concerto Op. 15 - Britten/Friend/LPO/Pritchard)


Vinyl of course and MP3'd, but I can't help that - my first
'digitisation' using Audacity on the new computer.

Relax and enjoy!

If anybody wants, I'll post the whole thing when Iain's shifted his
stuff out tha way...

:-)

Delightful. Arny is probably not too familiar with Britten,
It will be interesting to hear his impressions

If anybody wants, I'll post the whole thing when Iain's shifted his stuff
out tha way...

Shifted. Many thanks.

Remind me again why you felt yours worth presenting?

It was so long ago I don't recall. Obviously, I've had more than enough
adversity theropy so that I will never do it again.

You know Arny, you could get some respect back by simply posting
something GOOD you've recorded. There must have been SOMETHING?

A*dozen* people have made the same request a thousand
times. Arny has tried to use the copyright act, and a many
other excuses for not posting any of the 1 000 projects
about which he has been so boastful while denigrating the
work of so many others others

The last excuse I read on RAO prior to Arny's
departure soon afterwards, was that he nothing which
reached "the standard" (not quite sure what that means:-)
But after this, "Domine" was posted to a pro group in
an attempt to substantiate his pro status. So, it would
not be unreasonable to assume that this is representative
of his best efforts (No one would post their worst work,
would they?)


Yours etc

More like nonsense. Or perhaps a somewhat sad autobiographical comment.

More likely, our internet personas in various contexts relate a
time-weighted average of the of our postings in that context.

I view newsgroup postings as being personal interactive infotainment. A
great deal of *me* is someplace else, thank God!

The real-world me is currently doing a number of things that has nothing at
all to do with my current postings - getting prepared for the festival
recording season by updating my laptop and doing sample projects with a new
Presonus FW audio interface, modding some power amps for use in a live sound
environment, testing some fair-sized power amps with built-in DSPs, two
wireless networking projects, some audio and video production work, some
event planning, Some facilities AV upgrade planning, doing AV for
rehearsals and events, taking calls and performing work for my day job
(which absorbs a lot of time but not a lot that is On-Topic here), sorting
the booty from cleaning out the equipment storerooms of the largest A/V
magazine in the world, and upgrading the amplifier stack for a fair-sized
live sound system.

In a way. Where there are good people, I try to bring out the best. Where
there are a lot of AH's, when I have the time and opportunity, I simulate
AH's to act like AH's in the hopes that even in their limited state of
self-awareness, they will realize that they spend a lot of time acting like
AHs.
