A live room is acoustically designed to have a long reverb time where sound bounces and reverberates off the walls, creating a sense of space and fullness. This type of room is typically used for recording music, a symphony orchestra, choir, or any type of performance where the hall's natural acoustics are desired.
A dead room, on the other hand, is acoustically designed to have a very short reverb time where sound is absorbed by the walls and surfaces, minimizing any reflections. This type of room is typically used for recording voiceovers, podcasts, interviews, or any type of recording that requires a precise and controlled sound. Dead rooms are commonly used in audio mixing and mastering studios as they allow precise monitoring and adjustment of sound.
