...and I can't have it.
Friday evening we took my system and the studio monitor prototypes over to Starke Lake Studios.
I've been wanting to hear my system in a really large, well controlled room. Wow, was it ever a revelation. Nothing will ever be the same at home now that I know the true potential of what I've created and just how amazing it can sound without the influence of a small room. Starkes room is just over 30ft*60ft with 15ft high ceilings. It looks 'live' but it is rather tight and dry sounding in there. We were there until 4am just listening to track after track, mesmerized by it all. The ambiance, the detail, the sense of space enveloping you was just too much. There was no sense of "sameness" to any recordings. If it was a dry, studio produced track, that's what you got. No additional room sound layered on top. If it was a minimal mic'd, audiophile thing, you were transported to a sonic bubble, a little holographic representation of the event. So now that apparent boundaries anywhere near a speaker seem to blur this effect, I'm moving out of my house and buying a small warehouse and acoustically treating it. Anyone wanna move your system in? I'll have plenty of space!
Sorry for the crap cell phone picts. I forgot the real camera
