new user attempting to create an entry for the acronym LEDE "live end dead end" who learned at the end of an hour of labor that acronyms per beer parlor consensus were to be entered according to the part of speech they report as in ordinary usage, in the present instance adjective. As it is now after 01:00 hours I am leaving the matter I addressed yesterday for another day, perhaps this one. The substance of my work in progress follows.

LEDE Live End Dead End (audio engineering) an approach to the architectural acoustic design of recording studio control rooms in which the rear of the room is acoustically "live" (as reflective and diffusive as possible), while the front of the room is "dead" (as absorptive as possible)

"The LEDE concepts are physically simple but psychoacoustically complex. The goal of an LEDE control room is to let mixing engineers, who sit at the console, hear the first reflections from the recording studio over the control room loudspeakers before they hear any from the control room they are sitting in."
