Product Detail
The Waves Doppler plugin is a must - have for sound design. It can generate the frequency/pitch shift effect of sounds passing by, just like speeding cars, airplanes flying overhead, or trains moving past. This is an essential tool to add a sense of space and motion to your audio. It recreates a realistic environment with aural cues, placing your sounds in a believable space. It's not only for sound design; you can also add unique motion to mixes of percussion, guitars, synths, and more. Features include creating fly - by and movement effects with pitch shifts and reverb, controlling track curves and pitch, having an intuitive display of sound movement, bypassing pitch - shifting for rhythmic instruments, generating reverb tails, triggering sweeps manually or by threshold, emulating high - frequency loss, and offering 20 presets for common sound design scenarios.
Using the Waves Doppler is easy. First, load your audio track into your mixing software. Then, add the Doppler plugin to the track. You can start by choosing one of the 20 presets to get a quick effect. If you want to customize, use the controls to adjust the track curve, center time, pitch, start and end points. To create fly - by or movement effects, play around with the pitch shift and reverb settings. For rhythmic instruments, you can bypass the pitch - shifting to keep the tempo. When triggering sweeps, you can do it manually or set a threshold. As for maintenance, make sure your software is always up - to - date. Also, if you encounter any problems, check the Waves official website for troubleshooting guides. Keep in mind that the air damp setting emulates high - frequency loss as sound moves away, so use it to add more realism to your sounds.
