At first I thought, "What a dick!" but then as the discussion continued the panel as a whole presented a more or less unified front with the opinion that phase shift (or lack thereof) in equalizers is a red herring, along the lines of "discrete" and "class A" and misses the point entirely.
I think the moderator, and many people in the audience, sat there going, "yeah, but what is it?" In that respect, I think the panel failed to meet the audience's genuine technical interest. This is the AES, not some prosumer recording mag. We're supposed to get into technical detail. |
I think GM's refusal to discuss the most basic aspects of recording are well founded - he shouldn't need to explain the most rudimentary things at AES, people can learn that stuff on their own time.
