      Hire an orchestra? I’m sorry, the truest and purest form of music is to spend 2-3 decades mastering an instrument and make it with your own two hands.

        Please do! You make it sound like it’s some unobtainable ideal but people still do this all the time. In fact, conditions are probably ideal at this point in history.

        This is what I’ve done. Not all it’s cracked up to be. 24/96 is still my sweet spot for casual listening (as long as the recording/mastering chain was all at least 96khz… Otherwise, whatever the weakest link in the chain was).

        For having a career, though, 3 decades of piano ain’t a bad way to go.

      Well obviously, but with the economy and everything I can only afford it on weekends these days. I know, I know, but we all have to make sacrifices.

      If I did that, I’d tell them to deliberately destroy every timpani they see because that instrument hurts my ears more than anything. The rest of the orchestra sounds like paradise basically.

      National anthems and Disney films would sound a lot tamer this way. And I guess the Celeste soundtrack as well (no offense to Lena Raine, I just simply hate that instrument).
