In Reply to: Studio is closes to the actual performance - highest fidelity posted by benhen on February 15, 2007 at 16:28:36:
Wouldn't that be the closest approximation, highest fidelity, of what the original intent of the artist was?It is not a safe bet to assume that the wishes of the label are the same as the wishes of the artist. I can't imagine that many of today's artists actually prefer the dynamic range-free mixes done today. Nor choose rampant over modulation that was unheard of not so long ago. That's pushed for radio play.
There was a time when I really thought I wanted an Altec A-7. Professional speaker. The Voice of the Theatre. Then I actually heard them. Don't let a moniker limit your choices of the best speaker for your room. Contrary to what you may believe, it is not always the goal of the engineer to use a tonally neutral speaker. They want certain frequencies accentuated to make the mixing job easier.
When you consider forms of unamplified music such as classical, some jazz, acoustic new age, etc., then the concept of the studio as the "live reference" goes out the window. No more artifice.
