In Reply to: Well, you obviously see my conundrum :) posted by kerr on March 30, 2007 at 06:52:25:
There are recording engineers who use direct mike feed to compare the actual event directly to what comes out of the speakers. They then choose those speakers/gear that come closest. Recordings from such engineers look like good candidates for "accurate to the event".Names and examples I don't have, but there are pro-forums for that.
