How different are the two?
How many times have I ( and many of us ) been shocked ( mostly negatively ) when I listen back to my recordings?
How many time have I've wished I could be in both places at the same time during a sound check. At my kit and at the board with the sound guy. ( No, another guy's playing my kit never cuts it ).
How many times when I thought I was playing with nice dynamics, I listen back to the recording, and the snare, the bass drum, and crashes jump out a mile high ( or totally disappear ) !
Now, after fighting it for years, I've learnt to love, respect & honor the click, but any advice on how to look at /approach dynamic playing?
I envy all the cats ( and they do exist in all genres of music ) who can go from whispers to thunder and back and it all sounds smooth & sweet.
How does one practice/ work on/improve dynamics?
