Questions on Close MIking and Imitating Distance
I close mike my guitar at 15 inches in my living room, but try to imitate 15 feet in a medium size hall. I know adding reverb electronically helps to create the illusion of distance, but there seems to be more needed to complete the picture. It seems to help if I lower the eq at 74Hz by 3.5dB with a quality of 0.4. Does this match any proven data on the quality of sound over distances? Are there any charts or formulas available displaying this phenomenon? Does distance also result in a natural compression?
Even if it's impossible to complete the picture, I'm interested in what measurable effects happen in a natural acoustic setting.
