Anechoic recordings

The following demos are made with anechoic recordings*: sources without any reverberation. Please note that such recordings are not created to sound great or well performed. They are in the first place created for acoustics research and can thus be useful for testing reverberation plugins. The demos do not contain any EQ on the input, nor on the IR channels.

* Anechoic recordings from: Pätynen, Pulkki, Lokki – Anechoic Recording System for Symphony Orchestra, Acta Acustica united with Acustica, Volume 94, Number 6, November_December 2008, pp. 856-865(10)
