I got to play with a fun band last night. We were a "throw together" crew, house band for a benefit. Mostly jazz fusion with some southern rock and funk stuff. From Duke Ellington to Molly Hatchet. But more than any band I've worked with in a long time, we played with dynamics. Got it down to a whisper, rose up to practicallly ear splitting levels. The audience loved it.

So, what's happened to dynamics. I know at the recording forum and at the general technical forum, there's a lot of talk about how recordings these days are all at max level. How about performance, is there a diminishment of dynamics happening in music?

Whatcha Think?

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
