Q: Cowboy Junkies, "Miles From Our Home", why adding distortion to an acoustic act? It sounds horrible in my electrostatic speakers.
hello
electrostatic speakers are made to listen clean sound but :
listen finished cd/lp/ etc...
not for listen reverb feedback /lenght ,
or quantity/quality of chorus,phaser,distorsion etc.. must be added
to a guitar sound , or for find the right fader lavel for a track in a mixing section .....
try to mix a song with a pair of expensive hi-fi speakers (8/12000,00$)
and then with a pair of specific serious studio monitors ..........& good luck with the "hi-fi"......
professional high level audio and video equipment is made ,
based on the requests by professional sound engineers , videocamera operators etc... ,
from around 30 years the professional audio/video manufacturers (neve,ssl,sony,jvc,etc...)
make professional gear first for broadcast applications
and then modify the gear for reply to the professional high level audio recording studios.
(beaucause the big $ "budgets" are from tv networks , not more from recording studios)
but if someone want only have fun with audio recording ,
there is lot of " LE " gear at ridicule price.
sound and music are "subjective" because any person have different "character"
and then different "way" to perceive sound and music
for this reason (and fortunately)
exist different types of music and sounds
because anyone get +/- different satisfaction/pleasure
from different types of music and sound
try to read some book about music and sound psychoacoustic effects on the human brain,
and how the sound and the music are also good teraphy for "re-activation" of brains damaged from car crashes , long "coma" periods, etc...
any type of frequency , sound , music , give impulses to specific brain zone.......
that transform it in physical reaction..........
....my "frankestein" friend here want lot of "porn sound impulses" ....
i give it some hour of pornstar audio vocals.....
;D
stop!
if expensive professional high level audio video technology exist is because
there is who want and can pay for work with,
and fortunately the research go ahead .
by my side i'm happy this forum "exist".
