Or are you just talking about recording the ambiance as a reverb? If so have at er, it works great in some situations.

We used to do this a lot when drum tracks were being pieced together with machines mixed with live drums. It was something that seemed to help things stick together better. With drums, we would PA stuff right next to a drum kit or drums in a room to get that "ring" happening, and then blended into the drum mix, it was something that worked. I got this from hearing about Pat Mastelotto doing it, and I always loved his sounds. It was a fix for things sounding so separate and disconnected sonically.Mathieu Benoit wrote:Malcolm Boyce wrote:So you're basically talking about dumping recorded tracks recorded separately back into the room and recording the ambiance?
Yes... No idea how well it will work, but that was the general idea. It's like re-amping only I call it "re-rooming".

macrae11 wrote:The only time I do it now is when I need to match the ambiance from a track in an iso booth to our live room. Your room would work much better as an "effect" room, so it would be cool to have a setup like that permanently to be used as a reverb send like a chamber.

macrae11 wrote:Oh. Well why don't you make Plan B Plan C, and make Plan B recording them separately in the big room. I think that makes sense.

No shortage of PA around here these days, so I say let's do it.
I wanna try really exciting the room thoroughly.
