HomeRecording magazine had an article on Gold Star Studios (Phil Spector)..

Bathroom Reverb??? is that where the mixing slang
"ASS SOUND" came from???

gullfo said:don't know if they used the bathroom as a reverb chamber but plenty of the older studios had reverb chambers where the sound would pump in via a speaker and get mic'd back - some had hanging plates to alter the sound + numerous ways of dampening as well. as people build better electronics and smaller "tanks" and place boxes, reverbs got smaller.
that said, there are many stories out there - bathrooms, stairwells, basements, kithens, just about any live room with reflections have been used for reverb tanks... somewhere i read someone used an empty garbage truck as a chamber on a live session... one is only limited by their creativity...
sometimes studios recorded people in the bathroom to get the right reverb, so it is possible that Sun used a bathroom for reverb....
