Dear P $ aka @-PT ,
I’m in the process of mixing another “nature recording” that i did this past summer – this time electric guitar (miced and DI’d), acoustic bass (miced and DI’d), and percussion (miced).
I’m lining up the iphone audio (phone was about 10 ft right in front of us) per your and @Dana ‘s advice and I’m hearing a voice say “try hi-passing the iphone and sending it to a reverb…” Then I remember that you had written this in the above thread — “Another experiment would be to use the phone recording as the high passed send to a reverb.”
I’ve been messing around with this a little and it’s really cool.
I’m wondering if you might elaborate a little on this idea so I make sure I’m getting it right?
Do you essentially mean — get a good mix of all the close miced instruments and then add in the stereo iphone recording, but hi-pass the iphone audio and send it to a reverb? How much would you suggest filtering? How much reverb are you suggesting? Like big reverb? Or just some kind of convolution/space kind of thing? Also — would this be the only iphone track? Or would I duplicate it and keep one in with no eq and then add the second one which is hi-passed and has the verb?
Very interested in your thoughts when you have a moment.
Best,
JLew
