"If it's popular music to which you refer, the LAST thing I want is the *original" event if that means a typical "live" concert: 130 db of low resolution monophonic mud. I gave up going to such back in the 70s. My hearing is all the better for it."
Agreed; much of popular music when live is closer to a musical chainsaw than even a studio version of same. Even the good recording engineers are sad about the the past decades race to zero dynamic range in order to make the "loudest" CD. UGH!!!! Convert the fireworks recording to an MP3 even at 320k and you ruin it.
"To an extent. I've heard a truly live drum kit on a stage before. I've heard solo vocalists on a stage before. I can tell if one is standing at far left of stage or far right. I've heard an electric guitar played through a simple amp behind the individual on a stage before. There can be a reality other than the dreadful result we normally hear"
You know, if you were to do some casual recording your self, you would find it is an excuse to be up close to the live event, although drums alone can be very loud, at least they are uncompressed.
My favorite things are recording small acoustic groups, on of my favorites are two women that play at church occasionally, piano and violin. The sense of space and the purity of sound are a delight to listen to.
Your speakers have a large near field which is a very good thing, if your at all inclined, look into casual recording using your computer etc, i would bet in not too long you will find things that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end (in a good way).
One reason (the other is no patent coverage yet) i used "natural sounds" on the recordings at the web site is that I was there and they are not easy to reproduce.
I have permission to use an Irish folk band i recorded a while back but it hasn't been linked at the website yet.
