RE: RRE: "the sound of the hall before the first note was played"?

I believe that when very low level sounds (which exist in all rooms apart from very specialised anechoic chambers) are reproduced accurately on a recording, the illusion of realism is enhanced because we now can hear the venue ambience as a separate, distinguishable auditory entity from the foreground sounds - just as we do in real auditory spaces when listening to any sound.

In the natural world, every sound has a background ambient environment - that's why people report that sitting in an anechoic chamber is an unnatural & weird experience

That's my take on it - maybe John's is different?
