Videos of Acoustically-Coupled Audio Recordings
- Thread starter Ron Resnick
- Start date
How far is your phone/microphone from the speakers ? It seems quite far - have you tried moving it closer?
Speaking of learning from others and experimenting, when I developed the Remastering Process’ “Wood Edition” settings for the Perlman violin track, I also used the same settings to re-record the Shostakovich movement. Perhaps to audiophiles everything sounds better with that wood frequency emphasis. Will re-record Karma Police with the “Wood Edition” settings and hear how that sounds. I did listen to some of my music with the “Wood Edition” settings and it was too much for me as the sound on my music became more congested and it lost some of the ethereal feel.I will experiment with developing a setting that provides the wood for jazz, classical and pop recordings while maintaining the airy dimensionality and instrument separation that I currently enjoy. Will play around during my listening session and see what I come up with. The beauty of the mastering equipment that I use it that everything is stepped and recallable. It is fun to play around and experiment but lately with the Remastering process and my developed playlists in Roon it is just nice to hit shuffle on a playlist and let the server surprise you with an unexpected track instead of actively playing DJ.

Are you serious?
This video of the music direct sounds so much better than that vinyl video:
It certainly does in the sense that instruments are much fuller, have more body and substance, as well as presence. The vinyl video sounds thin. Just compare the solo sax and, around 4 minutes, the trumpet solos. It's not even close.
Sure, there is more "ambience" on the vinyl, but that's because the ambience of the recording is not just recorded as such, but also as contribution from the reproduction in the room where the system plays (and the room ambience itself may also contribute excessively, if it is a too lively room).
So in which way do you think that the vinyl (digitized) video is better than any digital version?

If this is what you are referring to, what is so interesting in the discussion?

I like it when people place the mic right where they are sitting to get the perspective from the listening seat. Sure one can move it around and perhaps improve the sound. In that case, perhaps experimenting with seat location might be worth trying too.

Here is a link to the thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussi...mail&utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid
I find it interesting that they are having the same discussion there as we have here. Some find the system videos useful while others do not. And those who enjoy them simply tell those who do not to ignore them. But they cannot ignore them. And they cannot ignore the discussion.
I also thought the early comment about getting "heat" was pretty funny, as well as the prioritizing of grounding and the power delivery to the quality of the sound of the system.

To me the YT is the best of the 3. The WAAR remaster's booming bass is overwhelming.

I have to disagree. I think the Rexp 45 vinyl is much, much better than the YT version. Also much better than the mono version on the Cessaro system. Full of life. The others sound muddled by comparison. I don't hear a negative room influence here (and unwanted room reverberation is my biggest issue with many system vids).
I have to agree with Bonzo on this one, "etched and artificial". I also don't hear how it is more "full of life" than the version that I posted. Yes, "artificial life" maybe.
But if your headphones are a bit on the warm side, that might explain things to some extent. Then the YouTube direct recording might sound a bit dull, too.
1st, I highly admire your effort, skill, and achievement in a sound process. In your own way of analysis of audio sound, your video sounds more complete than almost any other systems.
2nd, don't take my words too hard in 3rd. People who comment on your works are very valuable your friends. I think people like you can make the perfect reproduction audio and change the audio/sound industry. I root (and will to support if I have ability) for you. So, let merry-go-round upgrade path audiophiles (and their wives) have and enjoy the perfect sound in this life time.
3rd, there are many to talk about hi-end audio and your sound but I'll try to make short.
----- a) You can improve more on delicate sounds. In below video, sounds of musical instrument are basic and given. We (hi-end audio people) pass those. I try to delineate the moisture (and soft flesh) of lips and the texture of skin condition of fingers (and pressure of) hitting drums of artists. *Something like feeling the moisture of tongue and softness of lips of a singer.
------ b) You can improve the texture (timber?) of sound. The same music notes can be played by tearing papers (or a Stradivarius), hitting rocks (or great drums), me (or Pavarotti), etc. I don't like to listen below video. I won't talk about it's sound. You figure out.
------ c) You can improve the naturalness of sound. To find naturalness of your video, say repeat "hello" while your video is playing. If your voice and your video sound are blending well and hear your voice and music together normally, you have a great natural sound audio system. Say "hello" and listen with below videos playing. *The original music must match with your voice (means your ears are in natural mode).

I do not know Kedar. This thread caught my eye because it is about a system video and the guy says his system sounds natural. There is a link to the video, and I think it sounds pretty good. I like his priority on proper grounding and power delivery too.
