Bit of this, bit of that
Herb, I find myself in agreement with you. If one can only record sound with a microphone how can we ever know what was lost in the recording process by using that microphone, after all there's no perfect transducer, and how would we compare.
I'd very much like to hear a robot played performance, such piano playing bots exist, and then hear it played back via digital medium after the usual studio processing choices have been made. After all virtually no performance goes direct to disc and anything direct to vinyl has riaa apied and monod bass.
My own experience of live music does leave me feeling that we lose some of the dynamic range. But for me that's the difference between the raw live event, and the studio polished package. I'm not sure which the artist intends, prefers.
