In Reply to: Why can’t all the musicians record their music.... posted by millen on March 23, 2007 at 09:17:47:
Not all musicians are vocalists and what works best for that situation doesn't necessarily work the best for others. I am not a big Patricia Barber fan so I am not terribly familiar with the sound of her records, but what I recall is that they are quite close-miked and forward sounding. For some this is a turn-on and it sounds very intimate and for others this is unrealistic and a turn-off. Of course my memory could be wrong but in any case not everybody (nor everybody here) would agree on the same sonic ideal.The likelihood of artists having control of the recording process goes way up when you look away from the major labels. Most emerging artists produce their first few records (including releases on smaller labels) and therefore are in control of the recording process whether that involves delegating decisions to engineers of their choice or making decisions themselves. Musicians' taste in sound is as varied as that of audiophiles.
