Crack off/crack and smack

Hi

One guys says that the room they were going to play in had a beautiful crack-off sound, real crack and smack.

--- I couldn't find what "crack-off" sound is? Is there a similar word which means the same?

--- As for crack and smackit associates me with "drugs" so maybe it just says that the sound was awesome Emotion: smile

I'd say "no" to your "crack and smack" idea. " I grew up with acoustic instruments and don't know much about the ideal requirements for heavily amplified sound in a small room (small room as opposed to a concert hall or amphitheater). One would typically clap and listen to the echo (unamplified).

  • I'd say "no" to your "crack and smack" idea.
  • " I grew up with acoustic instruments and don't know much about the ideal requirements for heavily amplified sound in a small room (small room as opposed to a concert hall or amphitheater).
  • One would typically clap and listen to the echo (unamplified).
  • There should be some balance between not being completely absorbed (deadened) and not having a lot of natural reverberation.
  • ) I'd say they'd want the sound clean and crisp with a very short amount of echo.
