Hola.
Estoy haciendo el sonido de un cortometraje.
Estoy tratando de aprender a hacer que los sonidos suenen a distinta distancia de la que fue grabado. Principalmente interesado en que suenen mas lejos ahora.
En este momento, por ejemplo, un sonido que se produce en el baño, y fue grabado en el baño, se escuche como si el punto de escucha estubiese en otra habitacion.
Mi unica pretencion es no tener que utilizar mas que un eq y una reberv (estoy usando Trueverb VST), pero si alguien recomienda un VST especificamente para eso será bienvenido.
No me decidi aun, pero podria estar usando "RBH_Household_shower 01.wav" que baje de aqui mismo.
(Mi ingles apesta, pero lo voy a intentar. Si alguien nota que algo no se interpreta por favor ayuden la aclaracion.)

Hi
I'm making the sound for a short movie.
I'm want to learn to make a sound it sounds more far that the original record.
I have a original file was recorder in a room and I need that the original record sounds like the listen point was in another room (more fare).
I wish use a only eq and a reverb (I'm using trueverb VST) to make it, but if you have another tool it be welcome.
Maybe I'm using, in example "RBH_Household_shower 01.wav" file that download here.
Sorry, my English sucks, I now.

THANK's/GRACIA's !

Hello and welcome / salutos

I am not a sound technician, but this is my advice.

Reverb - find a room reverb preset and tweak if needed to give you the reverb you would expect from the room wher ethe sound should be comming from.
Things to keep in mind:
Empty rooms with hard wals (like for example a prision cell) would add a more echoing reverb.
Rooms with furniture would normally add less reverb.
And carpeted rooms should sound even more muffled.
You can get a more muffled reverb if your filter plugin allowes for a low pass filtered reverb.
The wet/dry mix should be very high, probably 70% or even more.

Low pass filtering. Sound travelling through the air loses high frequencies first. Reflections off walls, etc also tend to loose the high frequencies first.
So, if your plugin does not have a built in low pass filter, consider filtering the sound before and/or after it enters the reverb.
For a natural sound, filter settings should be for fairly high filter cutoff and low or zero resonance.
If the sound is coming from the adjacent room and the door is closed, then apply stronger low pass filtering.

Re-recording
If you have a fairly low noise environment and a suitable microphone, why not play the sound through your stereo and record it form the next room using a microphone? You may be able to use this sound for your purposes, or blend it in with the original sound for more realism.

I would also filter some lower frequencies. I found sounds from a distance also have much less low left.
And of course, turn it down.
If you have mild reverb, cut some of the low and high frequencies and turn down the volume, you should get quite good results.

// Thanks Both!
I was trying, and I get good results.
I have an idea so I need to procure some criteria for the shots movies sounds, the rest is fiction.

I have no time now, but I wish to post the parameters was I use.

Thanks! //
