Swirling reverberation.

When reverb and phase collide.

In today’s blog, we are combining Buffalo Days and Midnight with the Hohner Pianet to create a swirling, reflective soundscape.

0:00 - 0:10 The bypass tone of the Pianet.

Firstly, let’s hear a small sample of the Pianet’s unaltered tone. It’s warm and fat sounding but with Buffalo Days and Midnight we can add some space and some movement to build a more inspiring sound.

0:11 - 0:20 Adding some classic swoosh.

In this section, we use Midnight to add some lush analog phasing. We dialed in a slow rate with moderate feedback and depth for deep classic phasing. This is a great way to highlight an individual instrument and help it pop in a mix.

0:21 - 1:02 Stacking cool on top of cool.

Now that we have some beautiful modulation, let’s add some room sound from Buffalo Days. Here we are using a high mix and depth to simulate playing in a large reflective space. This helps soften the abrupt, staccato sound of the Pianet and compliments the movement provided by Midnight.

Let’s make some noise!

Now that we’ve explored the possible, let’s go and create the impossible. Visit here for Buffalo Days and here for Midnight.
