audio capture from speakers

Koz, you really like your Ziplocs.

That's misleading. It's a couple of gallon and a couple of quart, but I can't buy pint size In Real Life and I use those a lot, so I have to order them on-line. That's what the six-pack looks like.

Is that a carpet on your garage floor?

It's carpet fragments. Most of the floor is painted cement. The echo reduction comes from the tilted, segmented roof.

reflections at different angles.

The one exception being the thin, metal garage door. That's where the furniture moving pads race to the rescue.

I have a separate human door, so I can do whatever I want with the car door, but even so, It's possible to hang blankets so the car door will still open.

combination of absorption and reflections at different angles.

Exactly right. The overstuffed, heavily carpeted Victorian parlor is perfect.

The modern, up to date, polished wooden floors and plain white walls are deadly.



This is the best you can do.

Colby has great visuals, but he always sounds like he's recording in one of those kitchens.

Contrast that with TLDR News who has good clear sound.

Besides, I like getting my international news from someone who looks like a nine-year old kid.

That garage door will definitely need covering like you are doing.

It just struck me, wonder if that garage door can double up as a plate reverb?
Although not free hanging, it will have some form of rubber wheels running
on a rail, so it will provide some decoupling from the support mechanism.

It would be better if it was one solid piece of metal, but it may still work.

As for the victorian parlor, acoustically nice but aesthetically horrid.
For me, less is definitely more.

Thanks for the tip. I will try and check how if the result of the recorded sound sound is ok. I might still return this subject to the forum if I think the quality of the sound can be improved.
Regards.
