Music Lover vs Audiophile

[E-Stat]

Most Orchestras don't record in scoring studios right?

Yes. Why bother even trying for realism.

So, and MP3 can be used as a point of reference for high sound quality?

You really don't know the difference between resolution and miking perspective?

High quality sound is the objective, and only high quality examples should be used as a reference. You failed in this respect using youtube.

You've already forgotten the point of watching the video. Twice.

So were is this evidence of microphone count equals high quality sound?

You've already forgotten the comment to which I replied. It was to:

"Don't blame those who mix the stereo soundtrack"

Multichannel music is found on every film track recorded in the last two decades.

That's great for hearing the Dementors streak through the sky. demolish cars and twist bridges.

So in film and video(of which you used as an example) it is quite a bit more than 2% - it is more like 99%.

Do you remember the title of this thread? I continue to speak of music quality. Unfortunately, great music in films is compromised in the only format available to the public.

Film scores do not come from the music industry, they come for the studios and are distributed by music companies.

Why then are so very few soundtracks available as MC? For the biggest blockbuster movies using the best composers? Exactly who is dropping the ball?

You are comparing apples and pears even if the track was sourced from the same recording event.

My problem is that I like the music.

The fact that you have to use speakers that scatters reflections everywhere to create artificial reflections to give the format a sense of (fake) ambience is really telling.

As opposed to the DSP added to virtually all amplified music - regardless of the number of output channels. DSOTM has no real ambience.

Now, cut the dance Ralph. Where is the evidence that ties the amount of microphones directly to sound quality?

You will find it numerous times in your repetitive diatribe.

End of transmission. Those who enjoy listening to music (of which 99% is stereo) will continue to want better from what is available.

By all means, limit your horizons to a format.

Well Ralph, you still have not been able to correlate sound quality with microphone count, so we can effectively brush your claims aside.

It is one thing to say something, it is another to prove it.
