Having an orchestra playing live, miking the instruments and feeding the signal to a reel to reel tape recorder?
Then the master tape is sold as auction on eBay. The first owner only keeps an analog or digital copy. Or for example two tape recorders may be running at the same time.
But the idea is selling something that is unique, one off, like a master painting.
The market place decides the price.
The second owner may then upload from the master tape to YouTube for the rest of the world to listen.
Anybody should be able to play, improvise and record music. See previous euroelectron post.
Should an orchestra be recorded with many mics?, for each instrument? Or Blumlein? The problem with far miking is that the early reflections are recorded too which seem to be the worst error in music recording. When we are in a room our brain discriminates early reflections and forgets about them. But a mic does not have a brain.
Perhaps recording Blumlein with close micking or outdoors?
Late reflections sound very nice. For example Bruce Springsteen mixed the album Nebraska by adding tape delay to the master 4 track session cassette.
Tim de Paravicini had done a great project in South Africa bringing many people with their reel to reel recorders to record live concerts. All reel recorders were fed with the same live signal.
