In Reply to: because it's true. posted by Analog Scott on November 7, 2017 at 19:59:35:
Was with you up until you got to "aesthetic excellent." Well, I agree with that -- aesthetic excellence is the ultimate goal. And yet, almost inevitably, in my experience, the recordings of acoustical instruments that depart most from reality sound worse. Typically this occurs because the improvements were botched -- if they really were intended as improvements.
Those recordings that push up the violins, for example. If the violins were the loudest section in an orchestra, composers would have taken that into account. But they aren't. So pushing them up just distorts the composer's intentions -- and puzzles the ears as well, since in real life violin sections don't sound like that.
