other in place, but there was a definite change in the dynamics of
the
sound.

First, define the phrase "dynamics of the sound".


Hard to explain. It sounded wider, more expanded. I'm no expert, my
stereo
cost 500 bucks.

LOL

Not trying to gig you ... but countless hours behind a recording console
has
given me some experience in interpreting the sound "desires" of clients,
and, more to the point, the terminology they use to describe what they
hear,
or want to hear.

It's when they mix actual technical terms, as you did, like "dynamic" (the
"dynamic" range of a recording is defined as the difference between the
softest and the loudest passage) with terms like "wider" and "expanded",
is
when the fun begins.

"fat", "over-the-top", "warm", "open", "wide", "expanded", "dynamic"
"edgy",
and even (more from females) "red", "green" and "blue", are just some of
the
adjectives musicians use to convey what they hear/want to hear.

"Can you make that guitar a bit more/less warm, open and dynamic ... and
can
you make if fatter and more edgy without being boomy?"

... is one I've heard a lot.

Again, I am not trying to gig you in particular, just illustrating a
point.


Oh I know the point!...I did graphic design for a living for about 5
years....It's like the client saying, "I like the idea, but can you make it
edgier and more hip, without it being brash?" or when the optometrist
fitting your glasses asks you "Is it sharper and smaller, or just darker and
farther away?"

Besides, I'm a drummer, I just hang out with the musicians.
