Btw, heard any 'French Horns' lately...??

Live, up front and personal.

Several times a week, sometimes for an hour or more at a
time.

The group of instrumentalists at church has grown to
include a French Horn player. I mic her instrument with
a Rode NT-1...

With a little creative work, I make her instrument sound
balanced with two trumpets.


So how come you found it necessary to try and fob us of
with a midi file then?

I never did any such thing.


That's not my understanding....

I have the file which Arny claimed to be a real French horn.
It was so obviously a Midi sample played from a keyboard,
that Arny fooled no-one except himself:-)

The discussion can be found on Arny's home group RAO.




(Especially foolish thing to do when one of our number is
an *industry professional*...!!)

You mean that infrequent poster who is a part time instructor at a
community college whose ears are so battle-worn that she can't hear
what's
wrong with the LP format?



I'm afraid I know not to whom you refer....


His use of the feminine pronoun leads one to suppose that
Arny refers to Jenn, a music professional and teacher, with
vast experience in music and musical repertoire, who
has gained the respect and admiration of all who have
contact with her.

As a small Sir Michael ("not a lot of people know that") Caine
aside, this same lady, Jenn, was invited by legendary trumpet
player Bill "Cat" Anderson (of the Duke Ellington Orchestra
and arguably the greatest high-note trumpet player of all
time) to his home, to discuss trumpet technique with him.
Imagine, what Jenn was able take back to her students.

Jenn also makes very good recordings of her own guitar
playing at home. She is a very talented and knowledgeable
lady. - no wonder Arny dislikes her:-))


OK, I've seen the name Jenn a few times - now I see where it fits in!!

;-)

Jenn posts here on UKRA only rarely. But when she does,
her well informed comments are well worth reading. She
is also dedicated "hunter of vinyl gems"

She actually fits in well with you and Iain, Keith. She's a true believer in
the superiority of vinyl.

I can speak for neither Jenn nor Keith, but I have never stated anywhere
that I believe vinyl to be technically superior. But I have, on many
occasions pointed out that in the case of parallel issues, the vinyl quite
often sounds better than the CD due to unneccessary compression, which
is, we are told added to meet a market preference.

Personally, I am happy to be associated with Jenn. She has an
admirable knowledge of music, a charming disposition, and is
a very gifted performer. She makes pretty good recordings too.
I can see why you don't like her:-)

IOW you don't feel threatened by her.

She has an admirable knowledge of music,

She's OK, but I have my own private musical knowledge-base complete with a
PhD in music.

a charming disposition,

She doesn't see through you like some of us do.

And a is a very gifted performer.

She's good but not that good.

She makes pretty good recordings to.

As an artist, typically with someone else choosing the mics and twisting the
knobs. Take out the artist part, and she's something like you, Iain!

I can see why you don't like her:-)

She's calmed down some over the years, which is a good thing.

I don't feel "threatened" by anyone.
In my alphabet, P is for piano not paranoia.

He/she doesn't seem to have taught you anything so far:-)

There is a huge difference between having an aquaintance
who knows about music and knowing about it yourself:-)

My wife speaks fluent Russian, that doesn't help me one
iota when I pick up the insert card of a Russian made CD.

What does your PhD thinks of your screeching sopranos
with intonation +/- 1/4 tone? Or what does he/she thinks
about the horrendous distortion you manage to add to
their already dire performance of "Domine"

Jenn
And a is a very gifted performer.

She's good but not that good.

The C17th English poet Alexander Pope and his "
Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot" sums up your attitude to
the talents of others rather nicely:

"Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer
And, without sneering, teach the rest to sneer"

I wager a penny to a pound that in your Baptist church
volunteer recording activities, you will never meet, let
alone get to record, a player of Jenn's level of talent.

It is my understanding that she did these recordings alone
at home.

Charming, erudite, and gifted. I can see why you don't like her:-)
