Rexp Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The track 'Downstream' on this album is interesting. On most digital sources, the opening piano melody lacks flow which ruins the song. Link to comment

jiminlogansquare Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 If you wonder whether your setup plays soundstage depth, here's the recording to test it with (first piece, Ancient Voices of Children). The depth, layering and specificity of location for the many musicians and vocalists positioned all around the performance space are incredibly vivid and precise, even reproduced on my modest system. austinpop 1 Link to comment

Good shout. Brian Bromberg has an online store advertising Wood on CD but I couldn't complete the check out - maybe they're out of stock or don't ship to the UK. It was apparently recorded at 24/96 but doesn't seem to be available as a download anywhere. I like the sound of his "Bromberg Plays Hendrix" which is available on Qobuz. 🎸🎶🏔️🐺 Link to comment

For Setup; One Mic Recording 'https://www.soundliaison.com/ Quote .....These guys and this recording just rocks. Pace, rhythm, tone and soundstage are just off the charts.The precise placement of all four of the musicians perfectly matches the photos of the sessions.The balance of all four instruments is darn near perfect. As you can no doubt tell, I am a huge fan of this recording.It is one of the best in terms of recording quality I have ever heard. Of course, and as always,your view of the actual music content may vary quite considerably from mine.Nonetheless, I think we would all agree that this recording sounds sensational....Review about One Mic Recording by Joe Whip at Audiophile Style.

botrytis Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 My wife likes Jose James - While You Were Sleeping from the LP of the same title. It is very bass heavy but too much bass loses all the highend details. Very tricky song to get right.

blue2 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Youtube has Jose James "While You Were Sleeping" Live on KCRW. Live version with decent SQ. Seems to be synth bass as no sign of a bass player on this version? However the Blue Note album credits are: Jose James: vocals; Kris Bowers: organ; Solomon Dorsey: bass; Takuya Kuroda: trumpet; Brad Allen Williams: guitar; Richard Spaven: drums. christian u 1 🎸🎶🏔️🐺 Link to comment

christian u Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just get The Visual Sound from SOUND LIAISON. It has a great variation of superbly well recorded tracks. Gary Galo wrote a very interesting article about it in AUDIOEXPRESS Audioxpress. recording-review-taking-a-listen-to-sound-liaison-s-dxd-music-sampler Quote De Rond notes that until recently his approach to recording was similar to that of most other engineers. He employed multi-microphone techniques, using one or more microphones per instrument, attempting to get the greatest separation by placing the performers in separate acoustical baffles. This method, used along with multi-track recording, allows a great deal of flexibility after the session, because the engineer has complete control over the balances and the stereo perspective long after the musicians have left the studio.The problem de Rond noted was that the musicians don’t blend very well and don’t sound as though they are performing in the same acoustical space. Recording with many microphones also introduces phase artifacts. To avoid these problems, he did an about-face and decided to make a number of recordings with a single stereo microphone. It can sometimes take time to find the right spot for a single-point stereo microphone and, particularly when recording a live event, there are no second chances. But, when you get it right, as de Rond notes, the result is “phase coherence, perfect imaging, great sense of depth, and superior realism.” Musicians have been most enthusiastic about his efforts. He quotes bass player Clemens van der Feen as saying “I never heard my bass like this before on any recording. Finally it sounds the way I always wanted.” PAP 1 Link to comment
