Faking Sordino using Match-EQ and Convolution..listen
Hi,
I wanted to see if I could get my Appassionata Strings to sound like effective Sordinos.
I have a reference Cue form Alan Silvestri from "What Lies Beneath" in which he does parallel 3ds first with High, Violins, then with Violas, then with Celli all on their own respectively (perfect!)
1)
Ok, so first I put those 3 Silvestri bits on an audio track. Next, I pull up Apass strings and sequence exactly the same 3 bits.
2)
Now I pull up match-EQ and "learn" the SilvestriSordino VIOLINS. Then I "learn" the Apass-VIOLINS. Finally I hit "match". Now the Apassionattas sound really close to real Sordinos.
3)
I place a DigitalSpike on an audio_track and route it through that MatchEQ ( 100% wet ). Now I bounce the spike.
4) I now have an IR that makes the Apass Violins sound just like the silvestri Sordino Violins.
I repeat this process for the celli, violas and basses.
Wanna hear the results?
Sord_Violins_ApassNormal.wav
- These are the Silvestri Sordino Violins followed by regular, unprocessed Apassionata.
Sord_Violins_ApassFake.wav
- These are the Silvestri Sordino Violins followed by Apassionata with fake sordino IR...
pretty cool huh?
Celli Files are up there too.
I repeated this same process for the original Orch1 / 2 VSL strings, since they have a much greater array of short articulations.
After all this was done, I sequenced Herrmann's cue "Marion" from "Psycho" using only fake sordinos to make sure I wasn't wasting my time, ckeck it out:
