Holy crap, hearing the sudden cut out of noise was so freaking freaky and insane!
Makes you realise that no matter what kind of room or building you are in there will always be an echo or vibration.
I can see how disorientating and crazy it must be to be in the Anechoic Chamber.
It's impossible to describe, if you have a university nearby see if they'll let you take a tour of one. You've never heard silence like that before. It's deafening.
@@insederec If someone in Anechoic Chamber just to hear how quiet it is, without playing/testing any music instrument, won't that be the same as wearing an earplug?
@@redribbonzx7207 Not quite. You do hear your own heartbeat but there's something you can't really explain about it.
@@insederec Apparently the longer you spend in one, the more you can hear your own blood move and organs work. Sounds stress inducing.
I saw a video ages ago of someone popping a balloon in an Anechoic Chamber. That's a strange one to watch.
Imagine if all instruments used for a song are recorded individually in that silent room. Imagine the precision of that recording.
That's actually pretty close to how it's done.
Pretty rare to do everything in a completely acoustically dead room. Usually you're shooting for some amount of "room sound". Depends on what you're doing of course.
@@methyod not really, typically echo is something a musician would want to minimize, at least most of the time.
Laughs in direct input
@@Nichi-Ji laughs in more variety in tone
Wow, when you switched the anechoic chamber, it sounded like you were right here in front of me. Amazing how we take cues from the echos to determine the size of the area around us.
Apparently the effect in person is incredibly disorienting because of precisely this. Normally you're used to using your hearing to "feel" the environment around you, even though it's unconscious. Like how you can tell with your eyes closed if you're about to walk into a wall, or if someone has walked up to you even silently. But in an anechoic chamber, that sense no longer works, and it's really disconcerting supposedly. Because I guess it would feel like being in kind of an infinitely big space all around you.
Sounds like my 15$ Casio keyboard
fucking hilarious
It would be funny if you put £ instead of $ it’s a uk university
That's part of the reason why compact reverbs were invented
Casio keyboard + reverb pedal sounds pretty good tbh
Did you get a skeet blanket and a knee board?
I still remember the first time I was in a “Dead Room” (anechoic chamber) - it was almost like being able to see the words leave your mouth and just fall to the floor…
And then you gradually realize that faint background noise you're hearing is the sound of your own BLOOD...
Those rooms are awesome, but freaky as hell!
0:32 holy shit that's reverb makes everything sound better, the guys speech by itself diffused into notes and pitches!
I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now...
I disagree...
You’re just objectively wrong. The professional playing is right, it makes it sound horrible.
@@q12aw50 Okay, if this is an objective evaluation, then what are the metrics we're using to reach the conclusion that it sounds horrible?
@@MixMastaCopyCat The speech recognition could be that metric, for example.
As a synth player, who regularly hears everything I play very dry through headphones, I now COMPLETELY understand why artificial reverberation became such a BIG deal in early recording tech. You absolutely need to hear the room resonating and responding to the sound as part of it to make the sound sound "alive" in the ways we are used to hearing sounds. Life ALWAYS has reverb on it when we hear it.
Completely right! Reverberation is very important for musicians and it needs to be provided either artificially via the monitoring headphones or from the room itself. The latter comes with the problem that you cannot easily reduce the reverberation afterwards. But with larger groups of musicians, it's often not feasible to provide good monitoring via headphones to everybody, hence, a live (reverberant) recording room is often used for those scenarios. I recently visited the CIRMMT Multi Media Room in Montreal, which is a large space in which the reverberation time can be changed for research purposes, via extendable absorptive surfaces and artificially via loudspeakers: www.cirmmt.org/en/facilities
True, but a reverbless tone has it's own charm...
kinda yes but no. just dont set your synth or sampler decay to zero. most of the time its better to avoid usage of reverb.
they should record all music in there
BinBox thats what the room is for
actually it would be kinda bad idea, sometimes the echoes and stuff in the room add to the quality of the audio, making it a little bit more organic
BinBox why the fuck are people so autisticly idiotic that they can't understand the fucking joke?
oh wait, dont need to be rude, jajaja, i didnt got that it was actually a joke, :/
I sense another argument coming in
music for your soul
poor aron
my soulmate is you ❤❤❤
@@MaxmusTrngl shut up
I love the sound of the reverberation chamber.
I had no idea the floor was a giant bouncy mat inside an Anechoic chamber!! I feel like I need to bounce around inside it before I die. Adding to bucket list.
Don't want sound reflecting off a hard floor, so they line the floor just like they line the walls and ceiling. But then there's that little issue of walking and standing on those projections into the room. Which they solve by suspending a taut net to walk on.
0:28 That's jazzy.
Vozella Ya like Jazz? :^)
So jazzy that uncle Phil threw it out the front door.
kind of missing a resolve
Ya like *J A Z Z*?

Lisa! Stop that racket!
YoMonster saxamaphone*
I didn't say stop
that immediate cut on the first note in the triangle room was crazy
Tornado sirens in the midwest be like: 0:13
That's it mate - you're going STRAIGHT to the reverberation room!
I just discovered a jem: for those who fell in love with Jean Michel Jarre some decades ago, "Rendez-vous 5 (Ron's Piece)" is an emotional piece featuring synth pads and strings with long reverb under a solo sax *with no reverb at all*. This was the first song scheduled to be recorded from outer space. Mission Specialist Ron McNair brought his soprano saxophone on board to do the solo on the Space Shuttle Challenger, but never had the chance as the Challenger exploded. After the explosion, Jarre changed the title of the song in honor of Ron. That particular sound boggled me until I listened to this video: the lack of reverb conveys the idea of the lack of air in space.

Imagine the sleep you could get in this room! 😍😍😍
Actually lots of people refer to anechoic chambers as having an uncomfortable effect on them and they don't want to stay in it very long.. But I agree: Your sleep would definitely not be interrupted :D
You would LITERALLY go insane. Like that’s not a metaphor you will start to lose it
How would a lack of echoes affect your sleep? How often are you being awoken by the reverberation of your own sleep sounds?
The silence of that room would make your own heartbeat the loudest thing you hear. I've heard it's not pleasant.
Having been in an anechoic chamber I can tell you that you most likely would go insane before you fell asleep. Very weird environment.
Always wondered what a saxophone in reverberation room and anechoic chamber sounded like.
0:28 - no jazz player can avoid playing The Lick
Thaaaat's a bit of a stretch.
not quite but almost
nope nice try
I don't think I'd ever played it until I heard about it maybe 3 or 4 years ago. I never thought to play it.
it's not even the lick
0:20 when Disneys Little Einsteins need to find the way to the Waterfall by listening for the right song.
Used to get up early on Sunday mornings to go play my bari in the stairwell of the music building. Sounded awesome.
this was amazing!
Notice how the amount of sound vibrations to the microphone decreases when she turns around in the anechoic chamber
Lot of the best jazz records from 30s/40s shound, by today's standards, like they were recorded in an anacoustic chamber
Was it due to less sensitive mics which couldn't catch echoes?
the anechoic part sounds like shes standing right in front of you. incredible echo muffling
It would be interesting to hear a jazz quartet record a song in both rooms and see which one sounds better/more interesting.
where's all the comments
They were silenced
@@RacinZilla003 damn thats a ratio if ive ever seen one
In the reverb chamber.
This needs to be used for digital musical creation. So much cool stuff
great for sampling recording ! :) thx
no Auto tune
no echoes
just pure talent
sounds soo sweet in the anechoic chamber
Sounds so much clearer in the special room.
I want one so bad. It sounds so clean in there.
it still sounds good. love saxophone
I studied here and worked in both of those rooms!
Sounds much better in the anechoic chamber. I wish my room be that muffled, I would listen to the music for hours in there.
I don't think it sounds horrible in the anechoic chamber at all. I don't know what she means! All the specificities if technique come out and are sharper, and it clarifies the timbre. I think it sounds cool.
Sounds better in the room I hate the echo
Sounds better in which room?
The Anechoic chamber is ANechoic, meaning there is no echo there. The other place was a reverberation room.
*PHILISTINE*
She is having so much fun!
Those chambers are absolutely surreal. Not sure what mic they were using (the built-in mic of the cameraman's iPhone I would expect?) but it was crazy hearing even the soft clicking of the valves and like another commenter said, the sudden cut off at the end of each note was downright freaky.
It's the unedited audio from the iPhone 5c, as mentioned in the video description ;)
went into an anechoic chamber once on a uni tour, its so quiet you can hear the blood in your ears rushing through them
So many good vibrations in the reverb chamber. The Beach Boys certainly knew what they were singing about when they recorded Help Me Rhonda
holy crap it soundssss so much better in the isolated room.
No, it’s just easier to record. Music played in there will be very boring.
big up salford uni
I didn't even know there was one of those at Salford uni, would've definitely checked it out had I know.
I was in a reverberation chamber once and had to pass gas, but I knew if I did I'd never hear the end of it.
I went into an anechoich chamber in an university and after 10 seconds, I could hear my heartbeat, the blood flowing in my neck through my jugular and aorta. I then turned my head to look towards the door, because i already wanted out and heard my neck vertebrae turning on the discs. Just be ready if you go, all i'm sayin' 😂
That reverb chamber is amazing.
Reminds me of the many hours spent practising my trumpet in loud bathrooms, only to go to class in a mute room and have my lips fall off in the first 10 minutes.
hearing the sound cut out like that was crazy!
I've been in this room, balance felt really off after a while and talking was surreal.
0:28 sounded like a part of the Cagney and Lacey theme
Surprisingly clear and crisp, but the reverb is part of its power in a normal setting.
Love it!
Love the echo room so full
Which is supposed to be better? I like anechoic room better - makes the sound of instrument more pure.
Neither they’re both horrible
The sax in the anechoic chamber is so sharp.
Lise Simpson tunes on Hit & Run.
Looks happy!
That is a trip!
Holy shit the anechoic chamber makes it sound gated
Weird randomly finding and watching this video, whilst living right next to salford uni
what in tarnation
What in reverberation
Matt Ro what in anechoic chamber?
thank you for this
You could also use a cathedral as a reverberation room I think
ahhh... the best cure for my tinnitus
Need to try a vacuum chamber next !
Woah, sound
The Echo Chamber gives a multi-dimensional quality whereas the Anechoic Chamber makes it sound flat and dimensionless, both have their place, it's how one uses them and how much where, and when.
Holy shit I never realized the tail from brass instruments must come from reverb
Like cooking with chilli, you can always add reverb in post but good luck trying to get rid of it!
I would love to take my bari there.
Cool how you can hear the pads
It would be interesting to spend a little time in there, I wonder how much we use echo in conversation .
0:25 that’s a pretty crispy sound though.
209 Miller Highway
Nice Video!
those arpeggios sound great
I actually preferred the sax in the anechoic chamber, and I'm a guitar guy who doesn't even like sax.
I like the reverb room much better than the Anechoic chamber .
Kinda sounds like the anechoic recordings have a gate or something on them thats crazy
Great! I can just build a wall and practice in my room!
Awesome
real music
What... There's no 10 minute intro with an update on your life, channel and random shit nobody cares about? YOU CAN'T JUST GO STRAIGHT TO A VIDEO LIKE THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY FEELS NOW
w
Looks like a gd Saw trap room!!
Clean af
Now, all of you, look up "I am sitting in a room". Listen with headphones next time you're on the bus or something.
Reverberation ensemble
wow not many comments
Lucas Reid maybe the sound that let us speechless
Didier A. RUclips speechless? one could only hope...
Lucas Reid There are more but you can't hear them.
So a saxophone in anechoic ahamber is a MIDI instrument from Windows 95.
Chris?
This is great and all but where is Naomi? all I see is Abigail and her sax
This very much sounded like a live concert vs hearing a recording in a sound booth
Mighty jazzy
This would be s great way to practice playing clean
That sounds pretty groove to me baby
