Just as a point of reference, the average number of edits on a 60
minute classical CD is about 800.
The maximum I have seen on a lute CD (lute CDs run higher than
average) is 1800.
That works out to one edit every two seconds at the crunchy end,
every 4.5 seconds average.
YMMV. The CD reveals l

Your observation is quite apt. And Roger Kanazawa's
edition for HUP was still in print just a few years ago.
I think the lute volume is OOP, but the cittern one is
available. Perhaps when it is OOP, HUP will make both
available from ProQuest/UMI Books
Thanks, Chris. Actually, that recording was in 1994, and the engineer had
fantastic equipment, but that particular engineer does not believe in
single note editing, so they were all entire whole takes.
Yes, it was a difficult way to go, and there are warts on it. The easy
part was in that it
Neil,
Yes, and on Hoppy's "Vieux Gaultier" CD, you can
hear breathing, buzzes, "cracked" notes, and even a
storm outside. I think there's a recording by Diego
Cantalupi where you can hear birds singing in the
background. (I don't even think the piece was by
Respighi ;-))

Dear David, Stewart,
It's strange that you should mention hearing breathing on recordings. On all
of the CD's that I have by Paul O'Dette you can hear him breathing. As for
putting a sock over the mikes I think the effect would be to muffle the
sound and thus reduce the sharpness of quality.

Ed,
Oh, brave warrior, I kneel at your feet! No edits
is certainly the hard way to go!
On my CD, I tried to get as natural a sound as
possible - fairly close, dry and with few edits.
There are a fair number of tracks on there that are
done in one uninterrupted take. (Strange thing: on

Actually, my first CD had no editing at all, and I really enjoyed the
honest, freshness in accepting whole entire takes without "fixing" buzzes,
wrong notes, etc.

Dear David,
My impression is that the mikes are too good, inasmuch as they pick up
everything. In the Dowland Pavan I can hear you breathing. I prefer the
Delight Galliard, where the mikes are a couple of yards or so away. How
would it sound, if you put a thick sock or similar material over the

This is just a passing thought and I admit more one for the sound
engineer than the lutist. I know you probably won't want to go to the
extra trouble involved, but one way of making a recording a little
less dry is to use a valve and single-ended transformer preamp. This
Hi Ed
Thanks for the compliments.
Artificial reverb has the disadvantage of being unnatural. If I play in a
dry room, I adjust articulation and speed to it. Added reverb will make
those seem out of place. Also, when listening to a recording, close your
eyes and imagine the room the player's in, i
