Can someone tell me how you make that 'under water' effect that you hear on drums in dub for example. I think you do it with a filter, a reverb and a delay, but how exactly I don't know. It sounds like you're under water listening to drums but with a delay on it. Any tips are more than welcome!

I'm thinking of buying the Resonater from Frostwave but I have to save some money first. Could you tell me what a spring reverb is? I've heard about but I don't know what makes it different from "other" reverbs. Vermona seems to have one.

a spring reverb is a reverb unit that actualy uses a spring to simulate a chamber. the principle is quite simple: a long spring is driven by an elecrtomagnetic coil similar to those found in loud speakers, the audio signal lets the spring swing even after the signal stops (thus reverberating), a pickup similar to those found in electric guitars is used to recover the wet signal.

if you want to build one: a crude version using loud speakers can be found here:

Hi ya,

 

I think that sound is done with a phaser or other time based effect (flanger etc). Plus of course the delay! But the phaser comes after the delay, therefore each delayed hit has a slightly different sound.

 

Get on to kvrvst and you might even find a delay unit with this effect built in.

 

later,
