Voce Spin Tips and Tricks
The “One Mic Way Back In The Corner Of The
Room” Trick
Spin isn’t designed to sound like a rotating
speaker spinning all by itself in a large room.
Spin provides the sound of a miked rotating
speaker, the sound the producer and engineer
hear in the control room. But don’t let that stop
you from getting the sound you want!
To achieve the sound of a distant microphone
capturing the rotating speaker, run Spin using
the wide stereo preset. Now apply a room reverb,
remove any pre-delay, and adjust the wet/dry re-
verb balance until you get the distant sound
you’re looking for.
To automate your adjustments, be sure to
enable automation for that parameter as de-
scribed above. See the Pro Tools Reference
Guide for complete track automation in-
structions.
