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

As usual Iain distracts me from actually listening to the music by spouting
off more of his self-aggrandizing BS. I've been listening to Britten pieces
occasionally since I was a child. Not one of my faves, but nothing that it
hurts to listen to.

Iain, you must have been born bewildered, given the amazing amount of trash
you spew between your rare coherent or even truthful statements.

As long as UKRA is dominated by trolls like Iain and
Kitty, not a chance in ^%$# anything I ever record will
be posted here.
How pathetic....
Yeah Kitty, it must really be nasty being you!

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

In a way.



Streuth! It's right what they say ain't it? - Yanks don't do irony!


claptrap snipped


Did you even listen to the music, Arny?

Do you want the link again:

I thought it would calm you and help restore your equilibrium....

Yes.

Sounded better with a broad dip around 100 Hz, and a linear 15 dB rise
starting at 1 KHz and ending at 15 KHz.

Listen to the drumkit sounds Arny, they are not *that* far off, as for
getting the tonal balance where it would have been if it was all close
miked, yes, but it isn't and you can't (only) eq your way out of a mix
balance problem.

I can't make my mind up as to whether this is from a pair, but I think so,
even if it lacks ambience. It could be some small thingamajic on a table ...
that height above the floor would fit the 250 Hz dip being caused by a floor
reflection and the balance fits the drumkit being to the rear of the
""stage"" and partly in acoustic shadow.

Kind regards

I was looking at the *whole* recording.

Also, I was using monitors that probably differ from yours. Back in the days
when I lived in Germany, it seemed like *every* European speaker sounded
shrill to me. I don't know what things are like today, but many of the
European speakers we get over hear seem to run hotter from the midrange on
up. Also, the American idea of bass seems to in general run far richer.

I don't hear live acoustical drums often, so I can't use them as a reference
and have peak performance.

That's nice, Peter!

I have only heard it in isolation (waste of time me comparing anything
other than profound differences) and I'd have said it was *commercial*!!

The clarinettist heard it on my (none too shabby) computer setup and was
delighted with it!!

Noticing that the onboard audio interface and headphones on this PC ended up
with listening levels that were a little shy of being comfortable for me, I
added a Fiio E5 USB-powered headphone amp, and decided that the original
track as presented was really pretty good.

The main issue is that the bass masks everything by being 5 dB too loud. It
may so have been in the room or it may be a property of the mic setup, I
tend to assume the latter.

I didn't look at other tracks, only on what I had. So much EQ would not be a
first choice on a non-degraded recording. Also when there is too little
something, then perhaps it is better to fix what there is too much of,
cutting generally - there is no doubt some exception - causes less "issues"
than boosting.

Also, I was using monitors that probably differ from yours.

Used my M50's on the laptop.

Correction - it was georgia-pl that I was listening to and liked it with the
boosted headphone level. GeorgiaM is still too mellow.
