Why the Sound of the Space Matters


Most recording studios are unable to offer enhanced live acoustics and instead have to deaden the acoustics of their space. This is because most recording studios try to convert an existing space into an acceptable music environment. This means the quality of the actual recording is very limited and cannot capture the full range of frequencies and wavelengths created by any instrument or voice. The sound of their recordings can be electronically enhanced using digital plug-ins, but will never capture the true, natural essence of the performance.


Why capture sound in an acoustically enhancing space? Ever wonder why so many audiophiles prefer old analog recordings such as records to modern digital formats like CDs and mp3 files? The reason is that music can be felt. Sound travels as molecules collide and transfer the sound, just as a large speaker literally moves air. Even frequencies beyond the scope of human hearing from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz can still be felt by our bodies. It is this musical coloration of harmonic overtones that can influence an emotional response in listeners. This is one reason seeing a live concert can be so much better than listening on a sound system. Recording in a space that allows the capturing of the full scope of a sound can bring life to your recordings.
