An informative article on Room vs Studio Acoustics by Christoper Huston, Senior Acoustical Engineer for Rives Audio.
As a recording engineer, on more than a few occasions, I have been reminded of this subjectivity in some very amusing ways. For instance, one evening, after a full day of mixing, I was invited to visit some friends in the Hollywood Hills, on the way home. Just stop by and say hello.

Acoustic Sound Reinforcement & Audio Engineering, Kamloops B.C.
Sound reinforcement of acoustic musicians is the most challenging aspect of live sound. When folk, jazz and bluegrass artists are played through conventional PA systems so much of the rich natural acoustic ambience is lost. Musicians lose the value invested into their particular instruments and listeners miss the full acoustic effect of performances ...
