Ric, you are losing the point – this is a wonderful opportunity to blame the Mother-in law… From another side you still have live orchestra? Some opera houses in NY are practicing now to stage opera production with recorded orchestra sound. Sure, no one with sanity would live amplified orchestra but I know what the event organizers would reply to you. Sine I do not prove to other that I am sane I would state heresy: I love the amplified orchestra. The key in this is “properly amplified orchestra”, something that you will hardly ever experience in real world. The whole idea to properly and smartly amplify an orchestra and to make it so good that no one would recognize the fact that the orchestra is sound reinforced is so attractive to me (for years!) that if I have a chance I would love to work in such a project pro bono. Try to identify everything in the amplified orchestra that you like? Make note. Then itemize what you did not like and work on resolution of those “do not like” items. The Cat |
