The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
@hilde45  The “pretense” is that the vocal recording was a human expression. If the vocal recording was “airbrushed” by software before it hit the listener’s ears, the thing that ultimately hit the listener’s ears (vocal recording) was not the to...

@mahgister  “If you artificially created "perfection" you lose the expressive vulnerability and the power of this internal struggle in the artistic gesture.”   Beautiful. Thank you. There seems to be a fetid entitlement with artists these days.  ... 
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
@javaruke I’m sorry, but would you please clarify what a “pension fund concert vocal” is? I don’t know what that is. Your inquiry as to whether or not digital pitch correction may be used in live applications is not a “hijack” at all, but a great... 
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
“…how hard it is…to record a great vocal track.” With all due respect…please…spare me. I’m a singer.   I sing on pitch.   How else does a singer sing, but on pitch?   Barring a certain punk-rock, Patti Smith/Lou Reed/Randy Newman-type approach, ... 
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
@fuzztone my use of the term, “presented with (blank)…” is just a way to say,  “a person listening to something.”   The product itself (in this case, a vocal recording) is what is “presented.”   
Share the songs that move you (from musicals).
I left out “Somewhere,” Leonard Bernstein & Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story, and “Send In the Clowns,” Stephen Sondheim, A Little Night Music.   I’m sure I’ve still left out a lot more.  
Working with 78’s
A brand new Ortofon cartridge for shellac 78 RPM records can be had for $20?   Wow. Cool!  
The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded.
@hce1 “Thanks for that list of Carole King songs.” You bet! 😉 My (nerdy) pleasure. “It’s incredible and I’ll be listening to them all week long.” I love to hear that!    
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
@waytoomuchstuff  That’s funny!   It sounds like the person exercised their Second Amendment rights, as well as their Elvis Presley rights.

- “Someone To Watch Over Me,” George & Ira Gershwin, Oh, Kay! - “Ol’ Man River,” Jerome Kern & Oscar Hammerstein, Show Boat - “Embraceable You,” George & Ira Gershwin, Girl Crazy - “I Got Rhythm,” George & Ira Gershwin, Girl Crazy ...

@tony1954 You’re right, but I suspect for a reason different from what you’re saying

@tony1954    “you really have to join the 21st century…video is no different than audio in that getting the highest possible quality is a worthy endeavour.” Is that so?   O, thoust eminence, my benefactor tony1954! But for thy wisdom eternal, an... 
Help us build our playlist for our next show in November!
I’m picturing a scene similar to the one in Wayne’s World, where the the music shop employee stops Wayne while he’s auditioning a Strat and points to the sign, “NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN” Perhaps analogous here would be: “NO BROTHERS IN ARMS” “NO DAR... 
Discovery of less known vocalists
If you’re interested in hearing what an astonishingly perfect vocal sounds like, listen to Rebekah Del Rio here: https://youtu.be/Mx-IVl2wurI?si=3FYuEHHoCP3zq_RC  
unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms...
I love this idea, mahgister, thanks for the cool topic. In the late ‘60s, a group of young men in Cologne, Germany from musical backgrounds entailing work as conductor for Vienna Symphony, tutelage of Karlheinz Stockhausen, modern avant-garde col...
