The video on this page was so creative I wanted to share this. A drummer recorded playing in several different venues and then spliced them all together. Reverb is all ambient.
 
 

Not sure why, but I could sit and listen to his first patterns in that recording for a long time and be happy.  Maybe I'm just a reverb junkie? 

I don't know if I want that in a recording???

 
Here's the Utube video of the same thing:

I think he had to cut off some of that reverb in some of those recording places. At least to me.
 

Concrete does wonders! That video was just nicely done.
 
Sometimes I wonder about technique in that we strive to do our best to remove environment when recording, then create it again at the end. The reason for this is in my college there was a room in the physics department designed to have NO reverb... sound was direct path only. I took an acoustic guitar in there one day and it sounded like utter crap. It was the strangest acoustic experience ever... the acoustic "dead room." Direct path only is so "not normal" that it comes across sounding incredibly strange.
