The ugly side of recording

in #sonicgroove4 years ago

When we record, we always strive for a note-perfect performance and try our hardest to cover mistakes. In reality, as we are humans, we make mistakes and we are not-so-perfect. So today, instead of sharing with you a recording of organ repertoire, here's a compilation of outtakes. People don't see what happens behind the scenes and I can tell you‚ at times I want to pull my hair out.

I know this feeling well! I spent three-and-a-half hours one afternoon last summer recording a five-minute composition by a friend of mine. I was recording it as a present for them. After hearing my recording they were not pleased with the sound quality of the recording, so I had to shelve the recording! In all fairness, they later apologized but by then the fall semester had begun and I was too busy to try to re-record their composition.

A veteran sound engineer once told me that some contemporary recordings of concerti (he mentioned at least one such recording to me) are (perhaps not surprisingly) created in a studio setting, like a rock album. The soloist plays through their part until they do so perfectly (or until the producer creates the impression of a perfect performance through editing) and the solo part is overdubbed over the orchestral "backing track" (!).

Funny compilation. Most of the times I use some veru ugly Dutch swear words out of frustration, so those outtakes are not suited for publication... :-)

I know what does it mean! Duration of piece less than 3 minutes and duration of recording 3 hours... The most frustrating for me when I play more or less good and fail in the end
