I like hearing the artist breathing/inhaling. Makes it more real to me & revealing..But some are a bit noticeable, like Boy George..

i like hearing feet scuff floors in orchestral recordings, people at rest shuffle their butts in their seats, cello's lift and replant on floors, drummers tap their free foot, sometimes even hear a vocalists teeth touch inside their face when at rest. the list goes on but you might get the idea.

Depends on how bad it is. Normally, I consider it part of the music. I also like the sound of keys (if that's the right word) on bassoon and oboe recordings.

I hear it on Muse, I don't really care for it but it does not stop me from enjoying the music.

 

[ricmat]

well, is it bad or good?

for me it's WONDERFUL! it's the reality! and that's what I want to hear!


people do breathe in the concerts and in real concerts, so YES please! I want to hear all of it!!

(of course, if the recording is good one!)

Breathing is the life of solo pieces. Even Glenn Gould's humming.

But page turns are awkward.

Sure I think it has its place and charm, just as I equally enjoy super polished perfectionist studio works. (Breathing singer = retake!

)

LOL, i think it's funny to listen to the fingers to touch in the piano, but yes, pages are strange! I always imagine they play without music sheets!

(for me, it was the only way to give myself 100% to the music! - not looking to the paper)

I spent a lot of time in choirs, but of course we all kinda breathed at about the same time.

We often had orchestras playing along with us, and they could be pretty noisy at times too, so the noises seem natural.

LOL I do understand that feeling! 've been there!

It really adds to the experience, but the music I listen to most often is much different than what most in this thread seem to...it can mean the difference between a vocal section sounding raw, aggresive, and emotional as it should be (I listen to a lot of hardcore and metal).

-edit- I appreciate hearing actual piano and bassoon keys, too (played bassoon for several years)

 

[johnsonad]

Love it. It helps to transport me to another place and time.

 

[heatmizer]

All the background noise is part of the experience. I think its a good thing
Except i guess some BOZO coughing or something

 

[DSlayerZX]

love it, it makes me feel that I am part of the music

I'm the same way. I like to hear all that stuff. I feel closer to the music that way
