I like the dry recording best. Using Event 20/20 passive monitors, I really couldn't hear any difference between the wet and dry in my noisy apartment space. Using Yamaha RH-5Ma reference headphones, I noticed the added reverb on the wet take, but it was not a very noticeable difference. I imported both sound files into Audacity. Then started playing them together (there was a little bit of timing difference between the files, so that it sounded like when you pluck your strings to hard and the strings clash against each other.) Then using the mouse to first mute one track and then the other, I tried to get an A vs B hearing of the files as they both played together. As I said before, I could hear very little difference between the dry and wet. I thought the dry was getting enough of the room plate reverb as it was that adding artificial reverb was not necessary. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. The Other. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
