I'd like to slightly amend this statement to make that "editing technology"
rather than "digital recording technology". Slightly different semantic
intent, and analog overdubbing/multi-channel recording has been around
longer than digital.

Now, how about when the conductor would re-record a section that didn't come
out to the conductor's expectations and the engineers carefully spliced it
into the analog tapes? Is that acceptable? How about chair scrapes being
deleted? How much editing _can_ be done before we call it an artificial
recording?

I have a live recording from Tanglewood when the harpist had the foot pedals
in the wrong position on the opening harp chord from Scheherazade. Plonk!
Somehow I think the harpist would have been oh so happy to get _that_ edited
out!

Cheers,
mark C.
