About VST3?: Part 2

Good day,
I hope that this day finds you all very well!

In a previous posting entitled, "About VST3 ?", by Göran Nordberg, he had asked two questions, which, with the exception of one small point, were, for all intents and purposes, "answered".

That exception is with regards to, and I quote, "......or better sound...?"

As the final end result of all that those that are involved in either the pre-production, production, or post-production of "audio" the end result, in a word, is "sound".

In a response to that posting, I had asked the four questions, which, to my knowledge, were never "really-and-truly" answered. Thus, this present posting.

Those questions were,

Q1: Will a "live" audience be able to really-and-truly "hear" the difference?
Q2) Do the folks in "live" performance really-and-truly care about what equipment it is that I am employing at any particular time?
Q3) Does a simple audience really-and-truly care how a performance is actually "delivered" to them?
Q4) Can "equipment" make up for talent?

I sincerely believe that these questions are both important and relevant and should require their due time and attention.

PS: As a point-of-interest, being a rank neophyte, I tend to refer to my "live performance efforts" as being "pre-production efforts" - rather than "post-production efforts" - as I never plan to record such events. Thus, a considerable amount of time is in developing those "sounds" that closely replicate the overall tonal qualities of 1) the acoustic instruments that I am deploying , 2) my electric guitar performance and, 2) my "Emcee" voice. And as a rank neophyte, I do what I am able with the gifts given "to do what I am able", and then to hire someone whom I trust to "tweak" such efforts or re-do such as required [...hopefully the former]. In the end, it is absolutely imperative that I do not ever, ever employ hardware and software that masks my "playing skills" in any way whatsoever. Doing so, at least to me, would be a dishonest employment of such given gifts.

I do hope that this all makes sense? I look forward to your responses.

Thank y'all for your time...appreciated!
