About $15,000 (you don't even need to go this far). If the musicians would simply record their gigs with a quality two track rig.
This is a totally unforgiving, honest process. A properly positioned pair of omni-directional mics can record anything from a symphony orchestra to a stinky punk show.
Two ears, two mics, two tracks! When executed properly this process can reproduce the magic and essence of MUSIC.
I agree with some of the posts here regarding the dubious quality of the information in the article. However, I have noticed that my ears can become irritated when listening to mp3 files while I have no problem with most cd or cassette/radio. Why is this? Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried different programs for creating the files as well as different rates without any help. Cassettes are certainly of lower quality with greater noise and distortion than a 256k mp3.
