Hi Dan, I have a related question for you. (This appears to be a closely guarded technique, so feel free to weave and bob!) I have a friend in the ad biz who does a ton of voice work for local businesses, and we've been trying to match the voice levels of some national ads. We've found that some of these spots absolutely jump out of the speakers on broadcast and no matter what we do to his spots, we cannot get the same effect. We were able to get ahold of a couple of these spots, and I've done a little analysis of them here in the studio. What I've found, is these spots have a much higher crest factor than I would have thought, and they appear to have some subtle phase manipulation on both the voice and the music bed. Again, listening to these spots in the studio, they are nothing spectacular, but when these things hit the air, they absolutely POP. Any comments? Also- Terry, Many, Many Thanks to you for hanging here and sharing your experiences making many of my all time favorite records! Zep III changed my life. And Fandango was the first album I ever purchased! |
