Do you play an instrument? Helps in speaker eval?


Reading how everyone is sure they know what speakers sound like relative to real music, how many of you play an instrument? Which one?

With most acoustical instruments the player has a different acoustical perspective than a typical microphone setup or standing a few feet in front of the instrument.

After I've done a mic setup with a decent engineer my raw Bass track can sound amazingly life like. The file or the knock down to 1/4" tape sounds better at home than at most studios.

What gets past mixing, post production, mastering, and the crud that is publication and production is far from the initial recording.

I had a hard pan of a Soprano-phone and my big 4/4 Slavic Bass with about five minutes of "Giant Steps" that I used to take to audio shows. Knowing what it was supposed to sound like was quite telling to me. So my answer is yes.
