Underwater Effect

Try using a phaser set to a medium-high speed, resonance all the way down, width not too wide. I think with some experimentation the phaser will give you what you want.

sonodod,

When you are ready to quit this thread it would be an act of politeness and an aid to the health of this forum if you would award points to those who have been most helpful to you, giving the "solved starfish" to the one most helpful.
Also, on your way out the door you should mark the thread as "answered."

I'm definitely with the phaser. Another thing to try is the Rotor Cabinet plug-in (you may want to experiment with the various types of cabinets and speed). One more thing to try is the Modulation Delay at a high speed (somewhere between flange and chorus and no feedback)

Heck, it's crazy enough that it just might work. :-D

I don't know how to make IR's, but if it's based on a sample, then do this:

Get a large glass, or a pot, and fill it with water. Get a straw and blow air into the water to make bubbles. Sample that. Use that as your IR.

If you need bigger bubbles, remove the bulb from a turkey baster and blow into the narrow end, wide end in the water.

Again, I don't know if you make IR's with samples, but if nothing else you'll definitely get an "underwater" sound that way.

Another suggestion might be to take your bubbles sample, pitch it down slightly, and use it as the modulator in a Vocoder.

I say nothing can replace the real thing 😀

sorry, could not resist.

LOL!!!

How would you go about micing that BOTR?

Underwater mic, stick singer in pool or filled bathtub and sing 🙂

You guys must think I'm kidding... I've sampled bubbles before. Just close mic. The biggest problem is that as you do it you realize that you're... sampling bubbles... and it's hard to hold back from laughing!

Oh I know you're not kidding, but I think it's funny too 🙂

ischwartz,

Yes it is hard to keep from laughing overly. I am reminded of that famous Hawaiian song, "Pretty Bubbles In The Tub."

Why not just throw the speakers in the pool and mic that? :-P

You'll get an added bonus of sampling electrical pops and crackles in case you need to provide a vocal effect of someone getting electrocuted. :-D

Sondod, I've had really good results achieving a sort of bubbly underwater effect by combining the Spectral Gate with an (optional) short reverb. You'll really have to experiment with the Spectral Gate to get the desired results: start by turning the sub or super energy all the way down and adjusting the threshold.
