jgbsound Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Do you guys have any favorite Altiverb tweaks you do in the dialog mix? I've been working on this feature and use it quite a big to help get the dialog cuts to blend better as well as giving it a better, more cinematic feel within the room. But I always wonder if there's something I could be doing to help make it even better so I thought I'd ask people smarter than me! Thanks for any advice you can share!

VASI Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Record slate (only the "clap" from slate) from the rooms on location. Put it on Altiverb and processing (find more info for that here). And now you have the original reverbs from rooms on location. Hope if that help. Best Vasileios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbsound Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 That's f-ing brilliant! I never thought about that!!! Ooh now I gotta experiment with this idea. Thanks Vasileios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 While that method is good, if you want to record your own impulse responses and get them accurate, record it with the sine sweep instead. That will give you a much more detailed and accurate response than the clap method. The point with the clap method is that it works in a pinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbsound Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks Olle, Ideally a sine wave sweep would be ideal but I only have a clapper approach to work with at this point. But in the future ill be mentioning this to producers. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb1138 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 How do you process the slate claps for Altiverb 6 (there's no 7 for PC yet)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbsound Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Actually I should have been clearer myself. I too have altiverb 6 for PC as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just to be clear and from me. I don't have the Altiverb or work in past with that. But I know this feature you can do it with Altiverb. Now if supported or not supported in Altiverb 6 really I don't know and sorry for that. Maybe the guys in Gearslutz knows. But I don't think so if you can do it in version 6. It's a new feature and coming with version 7. Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleueblancrouge Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 what do you actually mean by... a better, more cinematic feel within the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbsound Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 For lack of a better description I guess I meant that the dialog doesn't sit on top of the mix so much. Feels like its coming more from inside the environment space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henchman Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I only add verb if I have to, or if its placing dialog in a big room, cave etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb1138 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 This is a page I found regarding Altiverb 6's IR-creating abilities: http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Altiverb/sampling/PreProcessor.html It seems we have to use the Altiverb 6's "IR Pre-Processor" to create IRs. The PDFs listed talk about a bit. I assume the slate would be most like the "Making starter pistol IR". Strangely that pdf is not on the website but I did find it here: http://ebookbrowse.com/making-starter-pistol-ir-s-pdf-d61400566 One of the problems I feel is the thing called the "Input Description File" in the menu of the Pre-Processor which tells the pre-processor to expect something less accurate like a starter pistol vs. a sweep. The slate has its own characteristics I'm sure which may not be one of 6's input description files, but is in Altiverb 7. Maybe there's such a file available on the net somewhere. Or maybe we can make our own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karri Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm also a PC user waiting for Altiverb 7 (man it's taking long and no indication of the progress except "we'll tell when it's ready"). A Speakerphone 2 update to make the UI work properly with 64-bit hosts would also rock my world. Anyway, wasn't the ability to create your own IRs for Altiverb reserved for Mac users only?

I think the newest version (7) will be able to create your own IRs on the PC side. For AV6 IR creation, however, there is a cheat; You can ask Audioease to provide you with the sine sweep audio files, so you can record your own IRs, and AV6 will analyze them for you in order to set up all the parameters needed to function properly. That said, I have yet to record my own IRs so I can't vouch for this ability. But its in the manual so I'm assuming it functions properly.
