In Reply to: If you were walkimg down the street, past the open door of a bar.... posted by Sue Kraft on June 4, 2014 at 09:23:02:
It is possible to fool people outside the door given a suitable recording and a suitable system, at least for most instruments. However, most recordings leave this an impossibility as they are compressed to start with, something that music professionals call, "sounding like a record". In general, if any part of the recording chain used a compressor or limiter or a signal was put on tape above 0 dB VU, the recording will fail this test. In addition the playback system needs to put out undistorted peak sound levels equivalent to live instruments, which means peak SPLs well above 110 dB and clean tight bass response below the fundamentals of the notes played. Also, the playback volume would have to be adjusted to the levels of live instruments, something that is rarely attempted.
There have been public demonstrations where people inside the room couldn't tell a difference between live and recorded. These date back to the 1960's.
