Does anyone out there know of a good tutorial on using EQ to acheive a more relistic sound with samples? Sometimes the sound of samples is just to present to sound as realistic as I would like and I have tried several ways to acheive "mic space" (lowering the gain and increasing reverb, EQ, etc.) I have acheived some success but I figured that there must be many others who have explored this already and may be able to help. Are there any good webpages that discuss this or any tutorials you know of? I often wish all VI samples came with different microphone distances, but I know that would create enormous files and increase the cost. There must be ways of "faking" this effect to some degree.
I am just trying to acheive as realistic an ensemble sound as I can get and I just don't know enough about acoustics to have a good grasp of what EQ settings best recreate a real live recording.
Thanks,
Mike
