I think this entire discussion revolves around what people prefer and why they prefer it. And answering that requires a level of understanding of the human brain that nobody possesses.
As much as I detest most record producers personally, I have to give credit to those very few who can listen to audition tapes and decide which one-tenth of one percent are even worth bringing into a studio to see if they can possibly make a crowd-pleaser. Recording mixers can help somewhat, but the soloist or group just has to have some talent. Usually, a great deal of talent. Not necessarily a degree from Julliard or Curtis, but native ability and training. Take a look back at artists that have sold lots of records: most really do have some talent that the mobs like.I have heard live music that sounds terrible. Musicians playing at their individual max volume, drum kits overwhelming, saxes whaling.
I now have much respect for recording engineers that tame all that and give us a nice illusion of a band or orchestra on stage.
In the background in almost all Star Trek episodes, and in many Star Wars episodes, and other movies about outer space travel there is often if not constantly a drone of brown or pink or white noise to represent god knows what---the sound of air movement or the hum of engines, and on top of that is the dialogue and music. Is that drone in the background music? Does is serve a function we could consider related to music?
which is ok for Star Wars fans
That video is AWESOME!!!I think this video fits just about here in the thread.
