Considering Heston's current bout with Alzheimer's, I'd be very careful where I had him point that rifle...

I think that's why Phil Spector used to carry a gun in the control room- to see if anything in the room, I mean to see if the room was too live....

Update:

I tried two baloons, a rifle shot and my girlfriend's farting.

All came in at approximately 350 milliseconds.

I'd suggest that if anyone else tries the above three methods that you follow the farting with the rile/gun shot. The essence of ignited gun powder will help mask the aforementioned farting's malodor.

I strongly disagree. The ignition of the gunpower will ignite the farted methane residue, causing great damage to the aforementioned recording enviroment.

Gunshot first, fart second.

You're right.

So, pop the baloons first or third?

Probably first and clear outta the room a.s.a.p.

I have to disagreee. Though the idea of a shot gun did not appear in my mind, now that I think about it, the fart, and resulting gunshot, imeadatly following, would result in the catastrofic distruction of the studio, completly nullifiing the results of the refartberation.

From this would come very crappy mixes, due to an imbalance in the fact your studio was destroyed.
