re kitkat: what makes it sound trad-ish/20s to you? the styling of the soloists? the feel of the rhythm section? the arrangements? the quality of the recordings? I can hear why you might say that -- there's a certain quality to the great recordings you linked to that wont be recreated, but that does...

The major comps are mostly to live music these days, which i'm all in favor of. I think if I had enough recordings that were of contemporary bands, or of live dance recordings (assuming they were the right length and didn't lose energy somewhere in the middle) I'd play them instead of the older usua...

I'm planning to record a big band playing at our exchange this year. I have a sound engineer that I normally work with, and he has recommended I also hire an engineer that deals with recording equipment specifically. I haven't yet talked to him, so I dont have details, but I have talked to the band ...

Yes, I misquoted you to make a point. You missed it. you say LPs are warm and CDs are cold -- is the music playing on them any warmer or colder? you said, "a real connection to the music in your hands as you handle the records and then just sit there listening to the music and holding and reading th...
