QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Sep 3 2014, 03:17 PM)  ... Tony, your opening post was way too short - please enlighten us! I didn't say any more kris as I've said loads about this elsewhere on this forum. As you've asked though I'm in complete agreement with what Ken has said. There is an art to being an engineer, which is lost in the rush to make more money and in the smokescreen where you can replace us with plug ins and convolution. Part of the art is knowing how your mics respond in your recording space under different conditions for different needs. It's not a simple case of chuck a Neumann in there because everyone says a Neumann is good. It's also not the case that having a convolution of a recording space equal in size to Studio A will have the same response as Studio A. There are a lot of issues that affect the nature of one space compared to another even when they share some of the same major features. In this rush to sell off studios we lose all the experience and knowledge of the engineers. How many people who record solely or mainly at home know and understand the differences between, for instance, NOS and ORTF? How many have the experience to know which Neumann may work for a particular vocal? Even if none of this matters anymore what about just having the facility of a space that is large enough for a full orchestra to record in? A space where all the members can interact with each other, with what is being played and how the conductor is directing them as a full orchestral ensemble? There's nothing wrong with having a home studio but the rush to close professional studios just because the owners want to liquidate their asset is not a good move. We lose much more than most realise. As an analogy - what would we lose if we stop recording real guitars played by real guitar players and instead only use parts constructed and played in and by software? -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
