Re: (TV) live CD:, New 'Listeners Friendly'

["Per Rosen" <per@ronz.org>]

Philip,
a soundboard recording doesn't automaticly mean that it's a "professional
source"
for a good live recording. The lined sound from a mixer/soundboard very
often lacks of bass, reverb and other things. It's often dry,
undynamic and sounds strange. The sound guy only mixes the sound in the
room. If
a guitar is very loud on the stage he may not put it in the PA at all, the
result is that you don't hear it on the tape. Concerning Television there
are some fantastic audience recordings from the 92/93 tour, no SB recording
can beat them. The recording gear has improved and if the "bootlegger" only
knows what he's doing and has a little luck, I think he is a more
"professional source" than a taped line signal. (Though, there are examples
of
good SB-shows, too. TV at Ritz is one.)
