adjl 02/18/22 11:11:47 PM #4:	It's worth going to actual orchestra concerts, if you can swing it. The dynamic contrast in classical music really relies on having good acoustics to carry the lows; recordings rarely do them justice and often require active volume adjustments to catch the quieter parts without being deafened by the loud bits. That's generally going to be less true for video game music, since it's composed and performed with the express intent of being recorded, but live performances of the same music can still improve on the dynamic contrast for an even better experience. --- This is my signature.

adjl 02/18/22 11:22:16 PM #6:	Heck, I might even go so far as to say that I enjoyed playing Mahler's 3rd with a crappy community orchestra more than I enjoy listening to Abbado's performance of it with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra (arguably the definitive performance of the piece). My version was, to no surprise, not very well-performed and generally much more thinly scored than it needed to be (it calls for 8 horns. We had two and two saxophones), but the last movement is an impossibly gorgeous piece of music that relies heavily on some really quiet parts that are all but completely lost in the recording (being Mahler, there are also some very loud parts, so it's a challenge to keep on top of the volume). Being right in the middle of it, I got everything, and it was magnificent. --- This is my signature.

Yeah, even a high quality FLAC file is still no comparison to a live orchestra in a concert hall specially built for maximum dynamic range. I've been to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra a couple of times and the difference is palpable. There is a visceral sensation you can feel in every inch of your body that a recording can never really quite reproduce.

adjl 02/19/22 10:38:26 PM #15:	Likewise, but there are enough similarities in timbre across pretty much all chiptunes that I can understand somebody disliking all of them because they dislike that fundamental beep boop sound. There was a time when "video game music" could be said to be a discrete genre because of that unifying characteristic, and disliking genres based on their unifying characteristics is fair. Now, however, VG music is just regular music that sometimes loops. It's pretty indistinguishable from any other modern instrumental music (and sometimes vocal), so I'm very comfortable saying that anyone claiming to dislike all of it is just clinging to their historical genre preferences. It's really not its own genre anymore. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:962798354] in My wife th...
