..........count on that to get away with synthesizers and such to pick up the slack when they dump whole sections. At home, I am training my kids to look for the difference betwen commercials or soundtracks that use synths and such. I say "Listen really carefully... listen to the timbre and articulations, it's fake. That's not a real string section. Can you hear why?" They're getting pretty good at it.

Well done Manny !
Last year while at the Manchester Craftsman's Guild with my wife,son and daughter-in-law listening to a popular young Quartet from Buffalo,NY,the guy on the synthesizer laid down a trumpet solo and my daughter-in-law leaned over my wife and said to me: "Now I understand your gripe."
The band had no damn trumpeter.

Circa 1974,I paid about $5.00 to witness the Mahavishnu Orchestra at Brooklyn College and left unimpressed with all that damn electric and instrumental duplication sound.
Meanwhile,North of Brooklyn College was Pratt Institute where it was all un-plugged and cats like Clark Terry would appear and the admission was $1.00 U.S. Dollar

I don't know the last time you guys and dolls saw Herbie Hancock but two years ago when he appeared at Heinz Hall here in Pittsburgh,Pa with Michael Brecker (recently departed) he was so wired that I'm sure the folks at Duquesne Light (Pittsburgh);Con-Edinson (NYC); and Duke Power (The Carolinas) warmly embrace his wired performance.
