I hadn't thought about reverberation, just changing the frequency response.=
I wonder how bad it would be compared to mic noise. Not good, perhaps, or =
everyone would be doing it.

Hi Peter,
yes - using contact mics & small mics to get very, very close to certain so=

t see one as reality & the other as not. Its all real.
mics in big ears: ha ! indeed, but then you'd have the effect imposed by th=

he sound of the sound as it reverberates around the big ears !
