Actually a nit is a tiny egg. And my comments was about a tiny thing A nit-wit is a dummy. > I was saying that the control room would tend to be pretty "dead" and > flat (but not anechoic) rather than live. There was a fad/style in the 80s to build studios and sometimes control rooms with live and dead ends. The live end would have parallel wood, the dead end would have lots of soft stuff to suck up sound signals. The idea was to get more room space signals when the musicians were in the live end, and have the engineer (and the band during playback) in the dead end. Modern control rooms don't have a long RT60 time. They are usually a bit more live than a Victorian living room, lots more dead than a high school bathroom. It is interesting that symphonic concert halls are moving back to the classic Vienna space rations. Tall, narrow and fairly deep from the stage to the back rows. It is impossible (at least with my skills) to get good rock drum recordings in a room with low ceilings. You need 16 to 20 feet of height, and you really want at least 900 square feet. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
