Difference between levels of Left and Right ?

I think the guy was just being innovative and thought people will be bowled over.

"I hear the mridangam split, right hand on right channel, left hand on left channel. Who but a lunatic would come up with that idea? Would they split the two hands of a keyboard player?" - I guess that is where a good recording is different from the ones by our copy cat masters.

Well, there are at least two instances where other musicians have also done it, including AR Rehman.

"Radha Kaise Na Jale" from Lagaan - The drum beats go from left to center to right and back.

Anu Malik also did it for one of the song in movie Bazigar. Don't remember exactly which one though.

Actually, of course, it's right hand on the left channel and left on the right. As if the mridangam was being played by a giant, facing us, with the vocalist sitting in the middle.

But sorry ... yet another Thad off-topic diversion.

Except that it is more evidence that it is dodgy to necessarily believe the recordings.

Imagine the distress when, on a carnatic recording, I hear the mridangam split, right hand on right channel, left hand on left channel. Who but a lunatic would come up with that idea? Would they split the two hands of a keyboard player?

hi thad sir,

could you please let me know the app that you have mentioned?


regards,

Thad,
Agree totally. In both the songs its only for a second or two, so not much bothersome. But it would be very annoying to listen that way.

I have heard several carnatic CDs where they practice this abomination. There's other stuff too, mostly probably explained by obsessive knob twiddling, but nothing to do with this thread (and I may well have ranted about it in other threads! )

Update:

The CD which the thread owner (sachin) brought to the DAC comparison was tilted towards right side for all DACs.

Problem solved (and sachin beaten ).

Ahh, yes, you are right: I did pay for it.

There are a selection of free SPL-meter apps. T
