Poor recording or mastering makes a good musical performance sound crappy.
Is Recording quality the real culprit?
We spend Thousands on trying to improve the sound of what we listen to. But isn’t it really more of a problem that we can’t really overcome, eg. Recording quality? It’s so frustrating to have a really nice system and then to be at the mercy of some guy who just didn’t spend the time to do things better when things were being recorded.
Fortunately many artists make sure things are done well, but so many just don’t make it happen.
It can sound really good but just doesn’t have that Great quality we desire.
So why are we wasting our time spending so much money on audio equipment?

@curiousjim , I can think of at least a couple also. Without going back and looking for others, the two I am thinking of are the Cowboy Junkies first and second releases, Whites Off Earth Now and Trinity Sessions. |
@feldmen4 , I was totally unaware of Sharon. I guess I'll have to order a copy. I discovered the Junkies rather late (right after Natural Born Killers came out on VHS) and then I bought everything I could find by the CJ. Which at that time ended at Crescent Sun Pale Moon. at that time there was one song on Caution Horses that really really got me--Sun Comes Up It's Tuesday Morning, but the reast of the CD was never my favorite. At that time Black Eyed Man was always on my playlist when ever I fired my system up. Southern Rain was like my reference song when I was auditioning new equipment. As far as WOEN and Trinity, the SACDs are sublime. They are works of art. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on Sharon. It is now on my list, and it is a short list. |
That's above my pay-grade, @thom_oz . |
