Nothing like playbacks! 2005-12-16
In these early days of my career there was a distinct difference in listening to playbacks in album recording, TV scoring and Movies as far as I am concerned.
In television you could be a little laxed. As David Rose once told me: "Remember, Bill, TV has little speakers, they can only take two lines of music at a time when it's mixed in with the dialogue and the sound effects."
There were times after a take on my TV sessions that I would hear a clam, mistakes, error (whatever you want to call it). At times there was a judgement call that it would never be heard in the final mix with the dialogue etc. so I would let it pass.
Movies were and are different to be sure. Big sound systems in theatres, today's home systems are incredible. You want to make sure your recording is as accurate and balanced as you can possibly get.
On this particular session, in this picture, you can see the intensity of our listening to the playback. On one of the numbers there was one decision by Dick and myself to let something go because we thought the total performance was so wonderful it demanded it. However, in album production you want to make sure that everything is there and balanced to perfection. To me that's the beauty and challenge of live accoustical recording.
