Popular Post firedog Posted April 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2021 Really well thought out and written. I read the article and then only had time to go back a second time and listen to the selections on my mains system a couple of days later. I don't generally directly compare the sounds of instruments, so it's pretty interesting to click those links. For instance, Miles' tone is very identifiable to anyone who's listened to him much, but it's enlightening to hear how big the differences are in a direct comparison to other players. Not that I didn't realize the differences were there, but the direct comparison really highlighted it. Same with the sax players-it's pretty amazing how different they sound with an A/B/C comparison, yet we all can identify that it's a sax. The clarinets were also interesting. Not an instrument I listen to a lot. So I could tell which pairs of clarinets belonged together, but I didn't know which sound meant metal and which wood. After listening a few times, I began to hear what the differences are. I was a little surprised, as my expectation was that the metal instruments would be even more distinctively metal in tone, and they were less different than I expected. Thanks again for such an educational piece. bluesman and The Computer Audiophile 1 1 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

firedog Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Got to say I wasn't aware of this album and am giving it a listen. I think it's pretty good. Of course, I'm a fan of Miles' electric and also his funky music. Don't have an issue with him not playing something people or critics call Jazz. And why should I be upset if he uses a wah-wah pedal? Don't get me wrong, I like his straight Jazz, too, but I don't care what category music is thought to be in. (Note: just to be clear, these comments aren't directed at Bluesman.) As far as the topic: from what I've read, this is another album recorded over time (70-74) and then edited and mixed together from various pieces by Miles and his producer to create a finished product. So it's a good example of a studio product that has a created soundstage, etc. and we aren't listening to anything we should assume is real sounding.
