Yes, the article was informative but could have gone into greater depth. The good news is it looks like Peter Mark is already planning a follow-up per this exchange with one of his Twitter followers:
Question: Did you get a chance to ask how the 'workflow' would
have been altered had they
decided to place the orchestra
in the pit? Where so much of
the actual acoustic sound
would have been covered up,
literally.
Peter Marks: I didn't but a great line of inquiry for my next article
about music direction.
I saw three ITW, Company, and A Strange Loop last weekend. The first two had excellent sound
design; I wish I could say the same for Loop. Unfortunately, a lot of the lyrics turned to mush when more than one person was singing, and occasionally, even when there was only one singer. |
