"For one thing you would have learned about other criteria than loudness with which to appraise musical quality."
Here goes my (third?) post on the little old MOAB.
The scene was in Canada, just above the Minnesota border, at a little rural church, forty years ago. A leading layman recorded a solo by a visiting performer, a young woman. He noted afterward that she was remarkably good, as evidenced by the fact that the level meters on the recorder were absolutely consistent throughout the performance.
I didn't bother to dispute with him about it....
