From memory - the producer Steve Lilliwhite was asked to re-record and re-edit a hit record he had from years ago (Pogues' Fairytale of New York). On the original you can hear the Shane talking very quietly at some point. Steve did the job played the new version and announced that he preferred the original, warts and all, as it had more warmth and feel.

Guilty as charged!
I'm recording presently, has to be good and I'm laying five (five!!!) takes on the guitar only. Two pairs of the sound I want as the end result panned hard L and R, two over distorted panned less and a clean in the middle. And no copy paste it's new takes for each. And I the result is so much more full than a stereo recording with only two guitars. Two tracks panned L and R would give; LxxxR where x is empty LLxRR is a lot better, I lower the mid ones a bit and the clean guitar in the middle gives support to the rest of the tracks. So I rather listen to a perfect recording but the real deal will be obvious when a band play live. So Live albums has their charm of course. I'd honestly be disappointed if I bought a CD that was not properly mixed and mastered. Like the ones I have from Savatage which pretty much sound as they were recorded inside a carton box. -------------------- My bands homepage

I completely agree with you.. Everything has a tendency to sound overly polished nowadays.
Some of my all time favourite albums sounds like they were recorded in a windy forest with a 4-track. Albums like Mayhem - De Mysteriis dom Sathanas, early Death (as mentioned above), early My Dying Bride and similar.. They capture a certain energy and atmosphere that no plugin or hardware can possibly recreate.

You can pitch shift any note now to make it right and it sounds perfect and record it 50% slower to get rid of mistakes. It is too easy. Even I can sound good in the studio

QUOTE (OrganisedConfusion @ Mar 20 2008, 03:05 PM)  I love those recordings. If you listen to the album Scream Bloody Gore by Death it sounds like it was recorded in a dungeon and because of it I love it even more. Things can be overproduced I think. Some people really want things to be perfect. It's like when I go and see a band live and they'll make a mistake that is noticeable. I then hear a DVD they release of the show and all the errors have been edited out and replaced in the studio. Why not keep it in as part of the performance? I want to hear what happened not what should have happened.  my bad, I must be tired for some reason ;-)Yes, absolutely for live recordings. If there's an error, keep it, if someone in the audience shouts, keep it etc. I reconed we talked recordings in general. Silly me. -------------------- My bands homepage

I've noticed the sucky camera angles on DVD's too, it's really annoying
