I Made an Echo Chamber In My Garage And This Is How It Sounded

I made an echo chamber in a hallway at my parents house when I was a teenager. I thought I'd try it again in my garage and the results were pretty good. Check it out...

Found this video cause I was geeking out about the Gold Star Studio chambers thanks for walking us through I am daydreaming about building one & this helped a lot with the mic placement too & the images of the other rooms were so cool thanks for sharing history

I'm glad you liked it!

I like it. Experimentation you never know but you always learn something. In 1970 I was recording in a house that had a decorative pool I figured out a way to waterproof a mic with a plastic bag and recorded the band as a little flavor to mix in. It was kind of cool. Oh yeah your expansion is looking good too.

Thanks! I always wanted to record something under water.

Nice! Have ever experimented with sending audio to echo-chamber at 4x speed, recording echo at 4x resolution and slow that recording back down to normal speed? Echo should be like in a four times bigger room, if i`m not completly wrong..?!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Dammit!!! I already have enough cool experimental ideas on my list! Now I'll be thinking about this for the next 3 days.

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume lol, you're welcome :-) A 192 kHz sample rate while playing and recording should do the trick, afterwards you can slow that recording down, and with a resampling you should come back right to 48 kHz...

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume memory and storage space....tweak up that computer.......Did you ever use the SVHS in HiFi PCM on the bias of a tape SVHS tape cassette.....as the "storage" and the playback source for the loudspeaker/amp system for in the chamber/garage ???.......following me on the Bias element since the signal will be on the video carrier recorded via the DRUM and not the normal stereo tape heads riding the bottom of the tape with the time code band.......Probably best to have a functioning antique SVHS editing suite system hahahaha and have smpte

Amazing

Thank you!

[@uptownquontv]

i always wondered how echo chambers worked . we need a video about your thoughts on tracking with compression, i have to know

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I've usually track with some compression.
