FWIW, short releases in a highly reverberant room are ridiculously difficult to get right…
First of all, they must be played correctly, then one must set the correct number of ms for the length. Then, you must find the correct number for crossfade. In extreme cases, some of it can be corrected by using a graphic fade in audio editing software, but care must be taken - I’ve heard reverberant sets that cut off too abruptly on a short release, and that’s a sure sign of over-editing.
We’re working on the Blackburn set for Llannerch, and getting the short and medium releases as close to perfect as possible has been the most challenging part of the finishing process.
