Hey Krispen,
that trombone didn't come from mars...rather Valhalla?
;)
I remember I said that "we" rocked the house, not the
recording - meaning that right at that event (being in a Minkovskyan way
something happening at a certain time and at certain geometric coordinates).
This needn't be true for the recordings...
There are a lot of different opinions about the
validity of live recordings, and positions here include:
* live recordings are not allowed (a
performance is only valid at that time in place)
* live recordings are only allowed
as a completely unchanged recording of a (stereo) microphone in the
room
* live recordings are allowed as
above but also with some audio treatment
* multitrack mixing is
ok
* editing is ok
I, personally, believe that the aesthetics of
recordings are different than those of a live performance. For that reason, I
tend to edit live recordings, not necessarily to remove mistakes (whatever that
may be in freely improvised material - see that shot on my myspace page of you
and Erin arguing), but to change the arrangement to make it work in that other
context.
Summarizing:
I'll do edits of the Saturday session after I got the
WAV files. Until then, you can either remove the MP3s from the site or leave
them there to replace them afterwards, or keep both the raw recordings and the
edits there...your call.
