Hello, everyone, welcome back to a brand new lesson and In this lesson, we're going to teach you something pretty awesome. Okay, so first of all, we're going to show you how to create a surround reverb in your audio. And after that in the same lesson I'm going to show you how to create echo an echo in your voice. It's pretty easy to create this, you just need to follow me right let me just exit this right here and let's start so right here I have these footsteps which I'm going to create a surround reverb in. These are the normal steps are still not edited. And this is a voiceover that I'm going to use to show you how to create a voice echo.

Welcome just a simple welcome which is going to sound welcome welcome welcome. Welcome up you know after we finished editing So, right here, first, what we need to do is click on this audio right here, make sure everything is clear in here and stuff, go to the effects tab right here and add a surround reverb. So right underneath audio effects, surround reverb, slap it onto your audio, and go to the other things right here. This is really simple to use, really simple to explain also. So let's start with it. We have these presets right here, which can be used, but I don't like them.

Basically don't like them. So I'm going to use the default one and set it up in a way. Right here we have what could be also called presets. It's called impulses right here. So Cathedral one is the most basic one and sounds the best. Of course, these are awesome too.

You can mess around with these see what's best for you. Maybe some of these are better for your audio. I don't know how your audio sounds, but I'll be using the cathedral one and as you can see, right as we Swipe on the preset, it has some options set up right here. So let's play the audio. You can barely hear the audio. That's the problem at the start.

We're going to fix that, of course, how are we going to fix that? Right here you have this game, which we can increase and set up the audio. But we also have a gain right here by right clicking on our audio and go to the audio gain, we have gain right here. As you can see, we're going to adjust this worse than this. Why? Because this is the gain that happens before and after all these effects are applied.

And this game right here is which is causing the effect to have a specific sound. So we're going to adjust this one first. And as you can see right here it says peak amplitude. What this means is this is the peak where you can go for your audio to sound as much as possible without having a distortion. If you go over this right here, it's going to have a distorted sound in it which we of course Don't want. So basically we're going to add 7.6 right here and that is the maximum that we can go in with parser can play the clip.

It sounds a bit better but right now we're going to adjust it in here by dragging this game Don't worry. Drag it up as much as you can. is having this crispy crispy surround reverb, but we have a lot of other adjustments to do. So let's start it off causing this around the river to sound very nice. This effect is crazy, good created. And right here I'm going to explain some of these other things.

So of course, as I said, we got the impulse right here we can be messing with these but I don't need them because I chose a concrete walk sound effect and right here as the room size you Be lowering this a bit if you're have a smaller room or something, but it's outside for me. So I'm going to keep it at 100 then think low frequencies and damping high frequencies is something that you should be using if you want to adjust it even more. So basically what this is, is it's damping the frequencies. It's, it's really shrinks the dynamic range of it. So this is something that I can't really tell you do this and do that this is something that you're going to have to figure out by yourself by trying it dramatically. Don't worry, just drag it up to 10 to 100.

To see what fits for you the best. Do something that best for me. And that is something you should be messing around with to see what pays for your audio because our audio audios are probably not the same. Right underneath that we have a pre delay, this is basic, it's just going to add a delay to your reverb. So basically, it's just going to echo it out something that I personally don't like using when it comes to surround reverb, unless you're shooting a video somewhere in a cave or something, and that's the audio where it's coming from. But for footage like this, I don't like using it and we have a front with as around with this is how how can I explain this.

So basically, what this is going to do to your audio is if you increase the front word, it's going to make the audio come at you. And if you increase the surround with it's going to make it more expanded sound more way more expanded. For example, if you show that in a room, which is not, which doesn't have fitting audio with discipline River for example, it sounds way wider than the room is and the room is really small, which we need to do is just decrease this round width and it should get right back to the normal size. This right here is something you could be using to adjust your audio bit more keep this at a maximum and keep messing with these to see what fits for you. I personally don't use this, because this effect actually does a pretty good job when you just apply it on.

All you need to do is increase the audio and maybe switch around a bit of these. But that's it. That's how you get the surround reverb. Really awesome effect and really easy to use. I hope I explained that well to you to understand what actually you're dealing with the effect. And right now we're going to switch up to my audio in which I will show you how to create an echo Welcome.

This is just our audio that we're going to be using for the voice echo. And before we actually get into this, I want to explain some things. So basically, if you're pre shooting an echo scene, what do you need to do is remember that you need to leave some space for this audio cannot be finished. For example, if you said welcome, don't stop the track right away. Let it be in silence for some time. So echo would do the job because you know, it's echoing because if you stop the track before time, it's just gonna sound weird is gonna sound exactly like this.

Welcome, welcome, what, and it's gonna stop right there. It's gonna sound stupid, there's something that we don't want. And if you by any chance, shot the audio or recorded the audio shot, the scene whatever, before you actually turn the echo effect and right now we're trying to add it and you don't have that free space right here for it to happen. Which you can do is the next thing. So let's say this is the audio that I have right here. And what you can do is right click it, see it's exactly what I did right here is right click it and click Next.

Once your nested is going to have a nested sequence, double click on it, and it should appear right here. This is my audio without the finish, this is where I finished it. What I did actually is I copied this track, so hold Alt and drag it upwards or downwards, whatever. If you don't have enough tracks, just right click this and click Add track. And what I did actually is the next thing, I dragged it right here, right click on this and go to audio gain. If you drag this audio gain all the way to minus 96 that is the farthest you can go click OK and you should have no sound.

And once you go out, you should be able to expand this as you can see, so that is something that you should want to do what your effect As you can see, I could expand this. And right now I have the expanded flat sound, I mean flat audio, which I'm going to add the echo to. So what you need to do is go to the first tab right here and search for delay. delay is right underneath analog delay in the audio has been a plot right here. And the next thing that you want to do is mess around with these options and explain this to you. Of course, you know what bypasses and causes delay, this one second is too much.

So this is how delay the echo will appear. So the basic one is 0.5 hundred, which is half a second and which is the best feedback. The feedback is how well the echo is going to response. So if you put it up all the way to 100 is going to have an unstoppable echo. Welcome Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

This is something that we don't want. So basically about that. 20% should be good. If you're listening to now. Welcome, welcome welcome Oh, this should be enough. But there's something else that we can do to our, to our audio to sound way more like an echo and that is the mix if we jump down to mix also about 20 or let's say increases to 25 to have a longer echo and get this to 20.

So this is basically for how long the echo will fade out. And that's going to give it a natural echo sound. Welcome. As you can see, our audio is sounding perfect now, but there's still some things that we can do to it to make it sound more natural because as you can see, there's no surrounding right here and it sounds like it was set in a Data Studio. Welcome, welcome, welcome. So what I like to do is add the same surround reverb as we did earlier for Round reverb as we use right here and click the Edit use this things maybe decrease a little bit of the room size and maybe add a little bit of delay but we added it right here so there's no reason for it and decrease this just a bit so if we exit this right here what I forgot to mention is we're going to use the exact same thing that we did right here to increase the audio so right click it go to audio get right click it go to audio gain and 5.8 is the turning point for me.

Maybe for you isn't just apply that and go back to surround reverb. Baby increase this a bit this game as we did right here, as you remember. And right now let's see how it sounds. The cathedral is not doing a really well job. So large concert hall should do its job, let's test it out because this is something that I've been messing around with and see is the best. As you can see, it's giving it that nice echo effect.

And even if we expand this to bed, it's all about testing. To give us way more of this, maybe you should subtract a little bit of this, but that's if you're trying to achieve a basic sound of this around River. I mean basic voice Echo, the delay welcome should be, the delay should be all you need. But if you're trying to add the cinematic film sound of an echo voice, you should be using the surround river and be messing with it see what fits better audio to create a really nice and cinematic echo effect. That would be it for this lesson. I hope you enjoyed and I will see you in our next one.
