Removed "by Peter Gabriel, Hugh Padgham and Phil Collins". This needs to be sourced. If someone can add a WP:V source for this it can certainly be added back into the article.--Isotope23 14:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
"it's hard to reproduce such effect when playing live" Don't you mean "impossible" the whole point is to artificially cut off the reverb. If you're playing drums in a live area the reflections will be audiable to the audiance. You'd have to have the processed drum sound going through a very loud PA to drown out the raw drum sound - which would then feed back through the highly compressed ambience mikes... Not an expert, just into home recording back in the 1980s but I thought it would be worth raising the question so it's thought about Megamanic 02:36, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, yes, you're right. However, it's kind of possible to play "live", while isolating drummer in a separate room and just playing back the processed sound to audience through PA. Whether it should be considered "playing live" or not is debatable, though, so I'd stick to existing phrasing. --GreyCat 09:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe that's the reason I've seen drummers on stage in plexiglass boxes. I thought it was purely for sound isolation 'cause you'd not get great reverb inside a small plexiglass box ;) - You'd reckon it would be more practical to close mike the drums & run them through a gated reverb patch at the mixing desk if you absolutely, positively HAVE to sound like Phil Collins Megamanic 02:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
