In Reply to: RE: Using Live, Unamplified Music As A Reference Standard, Is It A Subjectivist's Or An Objectivist's Approach? posted by tomservo on October 20, 2009 at 16:07:13:
If you have ever been around live sound, you are aware that a band playing on stage may use 20 - 24 microphones or even more.
Live, unamplified sound has no need for microphones, much less 24 or any notion of "mixing" whatsoever. It is what I'll be hearing tonight over at the local college. The Department of Music is hosting a recital by trumpet, flute and piano playing a variety of pieces by Mendez, Hindeminth, Purcell and Bozza. I assure you there will be no microphones, mixers, amplifiers, or speakers at all. Just live unamplified music in a wonderful acoustic space.
That is what he is talking about.
