When I record, I'm paying a lot of attention to the quality of the sound. I can't stand noise or hiss, and the sound must be right.
But, is that nesecary for good music?
Let me explain. Do you know Moby ? I think he's quiet famous. A friend of my borowed me his CD's and I've got Moby's "18" CD. The CD contains some of Moby's famous hits. But...
Have you noticed the quality of the recording. I've put some samples in the attached mp3 and you need to listen to them carefully. There is indeed a lot of noise, hiss and you'll notice that Moby uses a lot of "poor quality samples", well... in my ears.
But, who cares
I mean, his music is great and obviously a lot of people like he's music. Yes, he's the one who is famous because off the simple fact that he's paying more attention to the "musical quality" in his music rather than the "technical quality" of the samples or the recording.
Hmmmm... time to be less critical for the quality of my recording and focus on the musical aspect ?
