Nice bit of wikipedia cherry picking. You missed a good one though...
"On 4 March 2011, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Al Jazeera provided more informative news coverage than the opinion-driven coverage of American mass media.[87] Most American media outlets declined comment. Michael Clemente of Fox News called the comments "curious," while not directly refuting them. "
Been in many, many recording studios, thanks. Even O/O'd a 16 track analog house in the '80's.
Sorry to hear you recorded with a lousy engineer... they must have seen you coming.
Recording music is as difficult as you choose to make it. There have been *magnificent* recordings made with a binaural head and an A77 in a nice room with good musicians.
Regardless of the time and equipment involved in preparing for the process, recorded music happens when you press the big red button and play music.
Fetishizing the recording process is as senseless as fetishizing songwriting.
"And what is recorded music? Music that has been thoughtfully written and crafted into a purposefully created finished form over the course of weeks or months."
In reality, recorded music is what happens when music is being played, and you press the big red button.
Either way, sometimes it's a near mystical experience, other times it's like sticking your head into a boiling chip vat.
I actually like the idea of shifting government program mandates of 'Keep People Safe' to 'Making People Aware of The Potential Risks so They Can Make Their Own Decisions'.
