Cavernous sound is created by reverb. Here's a primer on reverb history and use. Bricasti was founded by ex-Lexicon designers/engineers. Lexicon made the most widely used reverb devices, primarily the 480L.
A question to the Sound Engineers out there
I really enjoy the way in which, some sound engineers have the ability to create tracks that sounds like the recording took place in a much larger physical venue outside of a studio
But based on the pictures I have seen of some studios, i.e. with the large mixing desk in front of a large pane of glass - it hardly looks to be an ideal listening environment.
So I was wondering...
- do Sound engineers listen to the finished master on a TOTL hi-fi system having a more "normal configuration" i.e. like many of us have in our houses, to ensure their end product will sound just as they want it?
- or is the studio a near field listening environment, which is actually better for the purpose of creating a grander sounding master?
- or are the speakers not really for mixing purposes because the sound engineer relies solely on headphones to create the final product mix?
Just curious - Cheers - Steve
