PRaT: Real? Measurable? Or just BS?

[Thomas savage]

Thomas, don`t remember seeing the Talking Heads live ... but what the bleep do I know ... few months ago I was invited to attend a local Martin Barre concert ... and embarrassingly ... I asked (probably with Locomotive Breath) ... who is Martin Barre.

Not to worry , as it turned out hare’s lost spectacles were his own affair and after all hare had a spare pair ..
(You now are probably convinced Iv lost my mind but it’s jethro Tull lyrics , honest )

It actually sums up a lot of what goes on , on forums . I think you ( @TBone ) would identify some of these protagonists

Hey TBone, good to see you back!

I say, probably inaccurate, because the effect is rather consistent across most program content, giving a decidedly propulsive quality to everything. As such, it seems likely an coloration, although a pleasant one. As far as live music, some of it exhibits this driven quality, while much doesn't. I don't uniformly experience such an effect live.

When you say live, are you always referring to sound reinforcement free performances? Once any sort of electronics are in the picture, amplifying the raw sound, then everything changes ...

When I think "live" - usually there is an audience, and there's no "let's try that again".

Yeah, but you're never too old to rock and roll, and you're much to young to die!

i am still interested to understand what you mean with the term "measureable" wrt to PRaT .
