Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

A few more attempts at this :-)

David,

##the room effects WILL interact with the sound of the recording in the same way that they will interact with the sound of a live instrument##

Yes the interaction with the sound would be the same, but is it that really what makes us recognize the differences, or is it the interaction of the soundfield reflected and direct with the instrument that creates a very specific sonic signature that we recognize as the real instrument vs. the recording of one done in a anechoic chamber. If you play back the sound recorded in a non reverbrant space than the opporunity the alter the sound of the instrument is missing, you only have the opportunity to alter the sound of the speakers. The rest of the room effects would be the same, but having the room feedback into the instrument is not present. The question is really a rather simply minded one: do we recognize something as real because it get acoustic signatures from the resonant space around it or is it just the sound being reverbrated, altered in frequency.
