 Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2007 9:01 pm Post subject: Favorite Real Time & Non Real Time Effect |
 |
|
I'm already ready for the on-slaught of humorous replies I'm going to get from this....but here I go anyway...'flood gates open...check!'
Everyone on this board has a talented voice, but what I want to know is...what is your favorite real time and non real time effect you use...and how/why? It could be a microphone used in a special way, or a fantastic combo of non real time effects that achieves a fantastic sound.

I don't know if it's my favorite effect, but I use it a lot in car commercials. It's called "phasing" or something like that, and while there are plug-ins for this, I find it easier to do it by hand. For certain key phrases like "Prices will never be this low again!", I'll make a copy of that phrase and run it in a second channel side by side with the original. I'll run it a few milliseconds before or after the original and it seems to really boost the perceived volume and adds a bit of a tight reverb sound.
I do enjoy the time shifting on my Audio Desk software. I can easily take 3 seconds off a 60 without any noticeable digital effects.

I have 2 favorite non-real-time filters in AA2.0.
1 - Compander (in Dynamics Processing) and
2 - Broadcast (in Multiband Compressor).
Use the 2nd one sparingly and only in the right places.
[Edit]
OK... and I have to admit... I like pitch up and down (no more than 5%).

Here are the settings for Compander.
The multiband compressor plugin is only in 2.0

This is flanging, taken from the old days of tape. Engineers would make a copy of the original audio, cue it up on another machine then start both machines. To get the effect they would lightly press their thumb against one of the tape reels (technically, against the flange) to get the phasing effect. |

Ta add a little space to the read. Listen to Freberg's United States of America recording. They used the legendary Capitol Records underground echo chambers to give the dry voices some life.
Another thing LOTS of 'verb is good for is to cover up a crappy edit. |

| Aw man...with all this talk of flanging I won't be able to get "Itchicoo Park" off my mind. It's all too beautiful. |

For those without tape, you can do this through most SW applications or using products such as those from Little Labs.
