I tried to make these realistic mixes, but may have erred on the side of wanting to hear the reverb. Order is

Ex 1. Dry
Ex 1. "Awesome Room"
Ex 1. "The One"

Ex 2. Dry
Ex 2. "Acoustic Guitar"
Ex 2. "Piano"

I'd be hard pressed to put into words what sounds so different on the Capitol Chambers reverbs, but there's definitely a quality to them that I don't get from any of my other reverbs. I'm not saying it's better than the others, but it's different in a very good way. I think I'll find a lot of use for it.

That was a fun watch. It's so cool to see video taken today that looks so much like it did in photographs of Sinatra and others that were taken there.
