For original text, see below... The process of recording and editing are actually quite similar to the days of analog. In fact, the processes really haven't changed. Some producers and engineers may do things a little differently (some of which is driven by the technology but most is not), but o

[Hornlist] Regional differences in "sound"

2009-02-22 Thread Brass Arts Unlimited
The loss of a regional difference in "sound" isn't limited to musical sound. Consider regional accents, idioms, and dialects in spoken language. The fact is that if you record something for everyone to listen to, and everyone listens to it, then we all start to sound the same over time. First, the

I wonder if part of this is due to having a lot of national auditions where they already know what sound they want and it typically isn't a sound that is unique or even regional. I know a local orchestra along the gulf coast (who will remain nameless) who was always looking for a Phil Myers s

I never heard this story about Mason, directly or personally but if it came from Fred Hinger, there must be truth in it. In the old days of recording the orchestra would play until someone clammed, not necessarily a horn player. If the conductor didn't hear it, you, as a player were suppos

The conductor could use the original score plus his ears. The regular score would be available from Universal Edition, Vienna, perhaps, but I am not sure if the have it on sale. Normally they have these things on rental only. Strauss is not public domain. It will take another ten years (here in Eur
