How do I make audio sound hollow?

YesMaestro wrote on 7/23/2009, 10:00 AM

I shot a video in room that was kind of hollow and echoey (couldn't help it). One small section of the script that we were given was wrong. The talent rerecorded the small section in her home studio on a different mic and in a different setting so naturally the quality is different. I'm trying to avoid having to re shoot it.

Where would I begin to try and make them sound similar? EQ, Delay, etc?

Thanks
Paul

That's weird Jay. I looked at my 2 computers and both show the Acoustic Mirror plugin. I'm running 8.0c. When you open the audio track or master effect window and click on the plugin chain button, can you see it under the Sony or All folder?

David, that is a last resort. The location is about 35min away, so I'm looking at least an hour and a half to re-shoot it between everything, time that could better spent elsewhere. It took me about 10-15min working with AM to come up with something close. Hopefully the client will be happy.

Ok, that makes sense Peter. I have SF so I guess that's where it came from. Up until now, I didn't even know what Acoustic Mirror was.

So if I understand you correctly, Paul, you're saying if I install SF (which I have but rarely use), I will see those plug-ins in Vegas?

I too do not see the Acoustic Mirror plugin in Vegas. Is it supposed to be included? I do know that it is part of Sound Forge (not Studio version) as is the Noise Reduction plugin. Could someone please clarify.

You are correct, Acoustic Mirror is included with the professional version of Sound Forge (not Sound Forge Audio Studio).

Okay, I installed SF and can now see the Acoustic Mirror plugin in Vagas. Thanks everyone--Paul, bops, Grazie, et al.

Jay, now that the others have done the "hard" bit with you, what I NOW want you to do is get to the AM Impulses, and when you click/select one of them you actually get a "picture", within the Folder Explorer, of THAT venue! Now, how intelligent is that?? AM - as I said - pure witchcraft . . .

Grazie

Yes, I saw the pictures. Talk about "added value"!
