Jim Lill: "In-the-room tone doesn't matter" and he's absolutely right

If you were with me instead of him, you'd be counting the orgasms.

Yours or his?

Does an orgasm in the room matter if it's not recorded for anyone to hear it?

If it’s not recorded it doesn’t exist.

In the room sound is the source and what we are trying to record with the best of our ability and tools so other people can experience it too.
How it sounded in that room to ME in that specific moment in time is temporary as fuck, things like humidity, temperature, listening position, level of intoxication, well being and mood changes that.

Are both important to me?: Yes, because I experience both first hand.
Are both important to you?: Probably not, unless you are a very caring human being and wish me only the best of tones in every room.

For example, I have no idea how Lil Jim's Marshall sounded in that forest except from what I hear recorded in his youtube video, but I do care and maybe slightly envious of what he got to experience with that fully cranked Marshall near a camp fire.
The recorded tone was shit, the other tone was probably a hit? I don't know, I'm not Lil Jim and that moment is long gone.

I finally ran the roadster and JVM in stereo today and it was possibly the most satisfying sound I’ve ever heard

In the room

To discredit that joy as “not mattering” is insulting at best


Obviously as a shit tier local band it’s not a practical set up live. You can bet your ass I’ll be utilizing thst blend next time I record though

But in any case that in room sound is far more meaningfu, important, and inspiring than any studio recording will ever be

As a matter of fact Jim, when I talk about my favorite tones it is indeed a description of inanimate objects I encountered in the room. Not boring processed studio recordings of pop country acts
