Then I will make sure all of my edits are clean and properly crossfaded. Zoom in, chop, and scoot things around manually. But still quite thorough)Īt first I will just edit visually. I tend to stay on the looser side of what I've seen some guys do. (How precise is up to you and your tendencies. This means all breaths, consonant sounds, note durations and whatnot happen in synch. But the general principle is that you take the "secondary" vocal take, and make sure the transients align perfectly with the lead take. Vocalign is a great plugin to help with "broad strokes". If the goal is to double a vocal take to thicken, without being able to audibly tell that there's a double, it's all in the time editing. the delay line can than be leveled so it pulls up the level of the main speakers on the back of the room up to 10dB, while the listener will still perceive the main speaker array at the stage as the originating sound source.Īlso delaying the ampified signal entirely so that the stage sound arrives at the listener first (as it has already been mentioned) uses the knowledge of the haas effect.Ī technique that I have picked up from some amazing mentors: (you take the original signal from the main speaker array, play it back over a further line of speakers in the back of the listening area and delay it so that is played back ~20 ms after the original sounds arrives at the delay line speakers. The very basic idea of delay lines is completely based on the haas effect. This means that the haas effect is almost never used in recording/mixing (it just sounds much catchier than "law of the first wavefront")īut is used in live reinforcement quite a lot actually: Perceived direction of the sound for the listener. States that if a single discrete source is delayed and then played back from a second loudspeaker, the delayed signal - if it arrives at the listener with a time difference of ~15-35 milliseconds can be up to 10dB louder than the first signal without changing the Was only comparing discrete sound sources - "sound sources panned hard to a SINGLE loudspeaker. The effect Haas described in his paper from 1951 : Haas effect is NOT the "law of the first wavefront"(Blauert, 1997) or "precedence effect"(Wallach et al., 1949) (the law which states that whatever waves arrives at our ear the first will determine the direction we hear the sound from)

Allow me a quick copy&paste of a comment from an earlier post:Įspecially in the recording scene "Haas effect" has been a incredible buzzword for some time - and almost never is it actually referenced correctly.

This is NOT what the Haas effect is (big pet peeve of mine). You're going to take advantage of a Haas effect this way.
