Curious to know what techniques, tools, and/or concepts you all use to emulate acoustic spaces in your music productions. I am particularly interested in eco acoustics and how to re-create them with electronic instruments and effects.

Personally it’s convolution all day long :slight_smile:

Same here! And field recordings through resonators. Would love some other ideas and techniques though!

Have you tried field recordings as modulators (FM/AM/PWM/FOLD? Also spectral transfer? Fumana, Bark filter kind of thing, can work really well? Another one I like is take a VCO or sound source, turn the pitch down, add noise to the FM and a field recording to 1/v, can get really interesting noise oscillator stuff there. Can also work great if you get like a filter with a bit of W and do the same to it’s frequency cutoff….

Sounds interesting! Care to explain your method:)

Love this! Gonna try it out. Thanks @Glamaig

@fellowfinch Super simple: just running a stereo field recording through something like a Meng Qi Wingie2 or a Mutable Instruments Rings. I prefer the former since it’s fully stereo and it’s got a tiny, two octave, keyboard that can be used simultaneously to control the pitch on each side of the stereo field. With Rings I mostly use it with noise to create more bowed-type sounds. I hope that makes sense! I can create a video if you’d like!

Using snippets (1-3 seconds) of sound or music as a convolution reverb impulse response is a kind of hybrid of the two techniques. Pitch shift the impulse response to ‘play’ different notes.
