In Reply to: Al may well have a very good point regarding RFI. posted by Rick W on February 20, 2010 at 10:49:58:
has not ended yet. Last month in Las Vegas I did live recording with up to seven performers (alto sax, flute, clarinet, piano, acoustic guitars, male and female voice, percussion, bass drum) on consumer level hi-rez and DSD gear (M Audio and AT mics, prosound cabling, Alesis and Korg portables) in the #1k range, with just two mics in XY or M/S configurations, no mixing, no processing, no EQ, and got playback of such quality there was virtually no difference with the live sound on direct A/B comparison. Even the artists themselves were startled by the fidelity.
As for historical recordings, mics of the 50's typically exhibited bass rolloff (easily correctable in remastering) and rough trebles (due to the size of the diaphragms, often 2" or more) which can also be tamed. I have Mercury Living Presence reissues on RBCD and SACD that equal the best modern work for transparency and range. And you can take that to the bank!
It's a crying shame what goes on in recording studios these days, but that's another subject entirely.
