[Gianluca Barbaro]

To me it is important to discriminate between studio AUDIO recordings (for albums) and video/live recordings. I must confirm that in ALL the studio recordings I took part in my life (not many but a few) the results where heavily edited, including an early music album (early music movement: authenticity in interpretation with reproduction of original instruments vs academic re-interpretation with modern instruments…) where entire sections where cloned, copy&pasted multiple times…
But I have never modified a live video in my life, except for some equalization and some reverb maybe.
A question: what about the Rhapsody in blue video:

Is that initial glissando at all possible on melodicas? if not, that is an entire different kind of “editing”…
