Then you take the track with your soloist, and send it through a differentĪltiverb instance, same hall, same distance (8m), but. Okay, with the speaker position you can either leave them as is (the original 8m), or even set them a bit wider for a bigger stereo image.
That's the "closest" impulse recorded in that hall, and therefore great for the strings which are usually in the front section of the orchestra anyways. You can send (for ex) the Violins/Violas/Celli & Basses (their individual audio tracks panned according to their orchestral seating) thru the Mechanics Hall, selecting the 8m distance stereo omnis. Not so interesting for music perhaps, but great to have an army of Roman soldiers marching from the distance, until they stand right in front of you-īut okay, that's the sound fx-maniac speaking nowĪnd then again, for experimental music it offers a lot of possibilities too.Īn example of using the speaker positioning (not an official one, just one of my experiments) : you have an orchestral piece, with a solo violin playing an important passage. I use it very often, not only is it easy and fast to place your instruments the way you want your listener to perceive them (either close and clear, or far in the distance, and everything in between), you can also write/automate them (fixed in the last update). Seriously, the speaker placement is a great tool.
I definitely agree with that idea of using anything to get the sound, by hook or by crook. But it seems to be a closely guarded secret. This might yield interesting results.īoy, I wish an expert would just spill the beans about what is the best way to use Altiverb. I am finding that this creates a more detailed/ less muffled sound than using the stage positioning feature.īut I haven't yet tried to turn the color knob to flat and increase the gain of the direct signal when using the stage positioning feature. If you turn off the stage positioning feature and use the wet/dry mix knob instead then you can mute the direct signal. The color knob as I now understand it lets you choose between a direct signal that is "colored" by the IR of the hall or a direct signal that is closer to the original dry signal. If your mix knob is set to 100% wet then there should be no phasing when using the stage positioning feature. I conclude from this that you must not add any dry signal when using the stage positioning feature or you risk phasing issues. Altiverb 6 also will not let you mute the direct when using the stage positioning feature.
