- fipple 8y agoAn anechoic chamber is not a good recording environment. The musician won’t be able to play well.
- frankchn 8y agoIn this case they would just be playing individual notes and scales, so would it be as important?
- fipple 8y agoYes, you can tell the difference between a virtuoso and a regular player just by how they tune up their instrument. A lot of violin is in the right hand.
- Godel_unicode 8y agoHardly. You give the musician IEMs (just like at a concert) and you can juice their sound however they like.
- justtopost 8y ago2nd and 3rd order reflections are extremely important to psychoacoustics. Unless simulated, it will absolutely affect a nuanced performance.
- Godel_unicode 8y agoThe goal here is, allegedly, to generate reference-level recordings. Or, to say it another way, you can add to existing sound but it's much harder to take away. I can use Avid to make your reference recording sound like any one of hundreds of concert halls in under an hour. I can also generate almost that level of fidelity in real-time with an Alesis rack mount box into your IEMs.
- cyberferret 8y agoAn anaechoic chamber is not a good place for human mental health. I believe no one has ever been able to stay for more that 40 minutes in the worlds quietest anechoic chamber in the US. Recording sound samples can take hours upon hours. And even in an anechoic chamber, the best of IEMs would still 'leak' a little.
- kibibu 8y agoThats a bit of a myth. They kick you out of the guided tour after 40 minutes.

- angry_octet 8y agoIt's a bit spooky, but it's fine.
