One thing to try is playing wearing headphones fed through reverb so you hear yourself closer to how it is going to end up. There can be serious issues with latency (the signal is delayed going through the circuitry and comes back noticeably later) but that depends upon the system used.
I quite appreciate the whole question of using artificicial means to sweeten the sound, and whether than comes at a commercial requirement. I find listening to a whole 'dry' recording impossibly tiring. Brought up on the dramatic ambience of Bream in Wardour chapel its not surprising that comes close to my ideal. Not many of us have the opportunity to record in venues such as that. Stephen K > But my playing is not in that room, so I play differently. Said differently: it's easier for the ear with the reverb, but not more musical. **************************** David van Ooijen [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.davidvanooijen.nl **************************** __________________________________________ This email was sent online via taliauk.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
