Subject: RE: Tech: obtrusive session instruments
It all depends, someone said....

How many of you out there in the ether have had the experience of hearing a really fine piece of acoustic music, often the early work of the eventually famous? And how often, some time later, when you hear a "greatest hits" or some other named compilation, has the music been "sweetened" with synthesized or overdubbed electronic tracks that drown out the instruments and voices? It's that experience which points out the difficulty of deciding "what to let into the session" most graphically to me.
