I agree completely with you on that...! -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bob Olhsson Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 3:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Quarter-inch splicing tabs... The problem lies in exactly what you consider "perfect." Great production is about eliminating the distractions from "what's right" as opposed to splicing out everything somebody considers "wrong." Being a songwriter, a musician or a recording engineer doesn't really qualify one to be a record producer. A lot of younger people don't understand this distinction. >Perhaps it is the 'perfection of the human imperfections' that makes >the perfect take.
