Sonically the most beautiful room to record in is your nearest forest. I 
learned a lot about reverberation there. A matter of taste I guess.

Call it great, call it beautiful, whatever. I think it's about whether 
you and your listeners can relate to the sonic space you build or not. 
It's easy to relate to something that is real, you know?

Let's say that convolution comes close. Can you relate to, say the 
impulse response of the Cathedral of Reims? You'd remember your frozen 
nose from sitting there. If you had played an instrument in there like 
its organ that would have made an inspirational difference. Choosing 
"cath_reims.ir" from a list of presets instead ... well, wouldn't that 
be a bit thin?

The effort you put into going to Reims or going to the woods or finding 
that special mic-position and corner in your home studio will shine in 
your music. Some call it soul.
