Ricardo -> RE: What is Tomatito doing here? (Feb. 2 2011 14:47:16)

ok I reviewed the DVD and realize he is not wearing the lavalier he has on later. I still think it is distortion caused by the mics on the master tapes. There are some other spots where I hear drop or crackle distortion. After the spot in question there are two crackles that seem like aftershock. you can hear AND see them in the youtube vid by watching the bottom of the screen at 3:45. There are two other spots at least something similar happens with the audio, at 2:35 a quick drop out, and the end of the aii triplets at 3:22 a short crackle again.
The spot in question, if it was a mute it was probably an accident as the intended technique happens verbatim at 1:47. The right hand formula would be 16th note flam m-i-iup. It is a standard ending, to be different then just ami down, or just m-i down which he also does. It is clear he is not muting with pinky so and to make that sound with just the fingers on the board, how did he mute the open A string??? and also, there should be a flam sound in the half beat (3 sounds in the rhythm space of 2) yet we only hear 2 sounds, a muted sound and the chord. Also the mute sounds "close" no ambient room noise, and super loud, and no reverb, and the chord sound sort of fades in with no attack.
Doesn't make sense. I say it is an "artifact" caused by microphones.
