| Re: Who Else Wants an Audiophile Trained Ear?
I grew up watching more live music than recorded music through high school (having been in band). Mostly amplified but definitely live. Only some of it I would categorize as 'good'.
I think the studio tries to improve on the "live" sound. I think the specialness we feel about 'live' is all about context, without that perspective a 'live' isn't as good.
Not that anything can compare to the live sound of a woodwind performance right in front of your face. I haven't heard very many good live recordings. When listening to recordings the studio usually sounds better. But there is nothing like live when it's really live.
