In article , Mr.T
MrT@home.? scribeth thus...
As witnessed occasionally, as part of the day job I have to
maintain
some radio broadcast equipment at Ely Cathedral and sometimes
stop for
choral evensong if its that time of the day, and its a good
stress
buster too;!. That always sounds more distant then whatever I'd
hear at home no matter where I can practically sit!....
The operative words being "where you can practically sit".
The conductor has a different perspective however.
Not with choral music or rather a typical liturgical setting....
However, in this context of "live", the room has a considerable
effect on
the overall sound.
Not really .. thats fixed in its "aspect" even sounds that way on
phones..
That's exactly my point. In a choral/cathedral situation both live
and recorded the room has a considerable effect on the sound of
unamplified voice, and even amplified voice if the PA has not been
designed properly. With RT60 readings in the 5-15 second region the
sound of the space adds considerable energy at any listening
position, and so any recording attempt except for very close miking
will always pick up the room sound. This will be translated into the
recording you hear at home, regardless of whether you use headphones
or not.
Which is why certain churches are used quite a lot as 'recording
studios',
And because they got dirt girt organs in them...
