Re: Headphones for acoustic live performance

I am not sure this would work (no matter whether its' desired or not).

I once tried to do a similar thing when practicing by myself.
I have been recording myself and thought that it sounded differently than it did close for myself, so I wanted to try to adjust in real time instead of having to record myself and tweak something, then record again etc.

This is what I tried:

* I was in a big room
* I set up my recording device quite far back with a long cord for headphones
* I tried different headphones and earplugs

I never managed to remove the sound/feeling of the "close sound" no matter how high volume I used in the headphones, and it never felt like only listening from a far.

I'm feeling inspired to play around with it some more now though
