What will be nice is if they can use AI to improve the sound of early opera recordings. Now that is where the research should be focused. It is not perfect. You would not believe what AI thinks I say. I was writing to a friend to tell her I looked forward to seeing what her pastries were like and it wrote out " I look forward to seeing what her panties were like".

You are quite right, of course,but nevertheless I believe that is where we are heading, and have already begun.
But in the case of artists recorded with better equipment there could be a comparison with before and after and some useful adjustments might be made. I am thinking of Ponselle, who had some recordings such as La Vestale that appear to have captured a much closer sound to what she really sounded like and she said so herself.

Haven't stayed with this thread but I want to comment on the title.....I've NEVER found Woodduck unduly critical! He's fearless in explaining why he feels the way he does and he's passionate. And I know he likes to be closely read! I particularly enjoy him when he agrees with me, BUT......... I always look forward to reading him, as I know you do SOF!!!
I was being silly. I love Woodduck's reviews, but he has opinions.
