You would think it’d be easy to make the singer’s voice louder than everything else. However, every year without fail the singer is always muddied behind the music and crowd.

Concerts are the acoustic opposite of a recorded taping. We want to hear it live but honestly unless you are live, you don’t.

Live concerts are tuned to the human ear. They are loud and bassy and overwhelming and assume.the brain will mix the lyrics in real time.

Recordings are fine tuned to microphones pointed at their source with electronics to figure it out. They are carefully dissecting and then back together.

One is a tossed salad and the other is sushi and sashimi. Everything else is in between.
