Considering how insignificant the reverb is when talking outside, would this be a good idea? (comparing the alternative of having a processed room)

is there such a place?
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

If you're going for a walk or whatever, you may think it's pretty quiet... But it won't be "recording" quiet. There'll be insects and birds, but the main thing will be wind, even a little bit will cause you problems.

Do it if you want that outside atmosphere. Its very different to a dead room, unless you are in the biggest anechoic chamber of the world at the TU-Berlin...
Most anechoic treatments don‘t reach to the low end, and outside you still have reflections from the ground and sometimes even an echo far away from the woods...
In most cases simple treatment is enough if you just want to put it later into different spaces with reverb plugins...

No two outsides are the same. Sounds and acoustics in a place will change depending on time of day or weather or season. Where do you live and what kinds of outside do you have?

Try it. You'll soon realize just how much noise there is.vacation_marc wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2020 11:56 pm Considering how insignificant the reverb is when talking outside, would this be a good idea? (comparing the alternative of having a processed room)

first: What are you going to record/trying to accomplish? What is this dialogue for? Will outdoor ambience/atmosphere, facilitate/enhance or detract from that purpose? If desired, could it be added later, were you to record in a processed room, and found that recording... lacking?vacation_marc wrote: Wed Oct 07, 2020 11:56 pm Considering how insignificant the reverb is when talking outside, would this be a good idea?

p.s. As others have stated, you would be amazed at how much sound there is, when there appears to be little to none.

I'm not a musician, but I've designed sounds that others use to make music. http://soundcloud.com/obsidiananvil

A little known producer named Sir George Henry Martin was known to do it.

Recording outside is a nightmare (and I live out in the sticks!). Just make up some kind of makeshift recording space in a closet or room, etc.
