Occurrence and identification of conductorial problems during a symphony orchestra’s recording session

Summary/Abstract: The paper is part of a doctoral thesis on ‘Conductorial problems during a symphony orchestra’s recording session’. The work focuses on the identification of conductorial problems during recording sessions. The chapters deal with theoretical issues relating rather indirectly to conductorial work at a recoding studio. There are six technological sections: 1. The problem of form analyses the methods of fragmentary recording and the possible ensuing problems. 2. Problems with Dolby Surround sound producing deals with the specifics of producing and sound recording and what the conductor and the recording team have to bear in mind when taking to sound recording or Dolby surround panning. 3. Natural and artificial balance in sound recording offers an indepth analysis of the opportunities to achieve a proper balance in orchestral sound recording. The advantages of the naturally achieved balance are underscored. Different methods of sound recording are offered: successive recording of a soloist and orchestra, of the various sections of the orchestra, differentiated sound recording, etc. 4. Use of computer controlled instruments (samples) deals with the application of the samples and the process of sampling. 5. Dividing the time of a recording session suggests ideas of good organisation of the work at a recording session to save time as well as the best approaches to solving the arising problems. 6. Problems with sounding in a contemporary recording session. The problem of tradition in music deals with the effect of contemporary recordings on contemporary music, accumulation of traditions and information overload.
