    And with reverb it's dangerous to work too long in one go: your ears adjust and next morning you could be in for a shock! First impression next morning is the most relevant guide!


    How true!

    I almost always use a long (40 - 50ms) predelay on strings, because it lets you hear the bow impact and still let them float in reverb. That's true of the other sections too, but especially strings.

    Using AltiVerb, I found that using the "negative" delay-setting (which means that the IR is shortened at the beginning, AFAIK) works extremely well with our samples, because then the reflections of our SilentStage seem to merge best with sampled reverbs.

  • I'll give that a try!

    You could always offer an impulse of the 'silent stage' so we can remove the ambience a bit using the deconvolver program... just a thought... Not strictly necessary, but who knows...

    That's a good idea too! Can get a bit too dense otherwise...

    Thanks,

    So where do you think did our first real-world tests regarding the MIR-project start ... :-]

    er, Musikvereinsaal? [:D] [:D] [:D]

    If this MIR turns out to be really good (as we expect it will be, of course) it may turn into a general recording industry tool rather than just VSL. Most of my friends (Tonmeisters) are still using Lexicon as their only reverb. If it came as a package in itself, independant of samplers and sequencers,... - could get some major attention!... But this is all 'Zukunftsmusik', as they say!

    Hey, you're right! Great tip. Thanks for that.

    If it would be _my_ decision, we would keep it for ourselves at all! [6] - Oh well, we'll see.

  • Thanks for the tips, guys -- I'm off to experiment some more!

  • I find that when i need a sound to seem distant ( e.g percussion at the back of the stage), by cutting high frequencies+ a good reverb, it will place it further away in the mix. [[;)]]
