03/06/2013 - Acoustic Enviroments

Indoor Acoustics:

Live Room:
A Live room is a studio room where a singular musician or band records. The rooms bounce the music around the room that pleasing to the ears. These rooms are more commonly known as a recording studio. The live rooms are so named because they are supposed to sound 'Alive' - it's supposed to be a natural thing, and be natural sounding.  
The video to the right of the screen is of a live room event, unfortunately none of the browsers on this computer will run youtube due to them needing an update that only an administrator can provide, so I haven't been able to watch this video myself.

Dead Room:

Dead rooms are rooms that have little (to no) echo or reverberation, it's considered a dead room, because it's an unnatural state of quiet. Ultimate dead rooms are called Anechoic Chambers, which is a room made in a certain way so that it creates no echo at all, these rooms are used more commonly for scientific and measurement purposes rather than to record music. If you're in a dead room, you can hear yourself breathing and everything sounds unnatural, and when recorded, it sounds flat.
[SORRY!] Once again, I'd like to point out that I do not know what the quality or content of this video is, I hope it's useful, as soon as I'm on a different computer I will be checking the video's out. [SORRY!]

Outdoor acoustics

Outdoor Recordings:
Recording outdoors may be a fun thing to do, but unless nature and man kind is what you want to hear, it doesn't always work in your favor. There's way too much reverberation to record something of class. Although there are things to stop this, such as wind shields, or dead cats. Dead cats keep out a lot of background noise so they are prime when trying to record outside.
