Although I am NOT going to double check the physics in that post (hey, if I want to do equations, I will do them for my boss and get PAID for it!
), I do agree with and actually practice Robin's advice.
And I will add one more thing too it. It helps if you can do a warm up in the room that you are going to play in. This gets our bodies (i.e. ears, brain) and our mental perspective ready to play. Given the venues I play in a week... everything from a small practice room, a church sanctuary, a band room with REALLY bad acoustics, and the stage of a fine arts building...I find that warming up in the room that I will be playing in is a great help, and results in a better practice session (or performance) for everybody.
