一款古怪的低保真空间效果处理器,是制作巨型吉他的秘密武器。它还有助于增强混音的立体空间,创造温暖和底部。
一个让扬声器听起来更大的小塑料盒。
最初的WOW Thing售价20美元,让廉价的扬声器听起来更宽敞、更饱满。它通过使用激进均衡和一些使用延迟和相位的奇异心理声学处理来实现这一效果。它奏效了,但很奇怪,很古怪。绝对不是专业音频设备。..直到一位主要的摇滚工程师发现,当他录制了这个星球上最有影响力和最成功的金属专辑之一时,它对吉他做了惊人的事情。WOW Thing成为许多标志性专辑的秘密武器。
一个行业秘密,现在是一个插件。
Dan Korneff十五年前设法买了一件WOW Thing,它成为了他吉他加工的主食。然而,他想在背景人声和混响中使用它,而原始的盒子很难找到。所以他重新创建了它,现在它可以作为插件使用。
把WOW Thing想象成一个声学拥抱:任何时候,只要你想让声音超出正常立体声场的范围,WOW Things就是你的选择。
如果你正在寻找怪异的Lo-Fi神秘感,WOW Thing是你的廉价塑料朋友,现在以方便的插件形式出现。
A quirky, Lo-Fi spatial effects processor that's a secret weapon for huge-sounding guitars. It's also great for enhancing the stereo space of your mixes and creating warmth and bottom.
A little plastic box that made speakers sound bigger.
The Original WOW Thing was $20 and made cheap speakers sound more spacious and full. It achieved this effect by using radical equalization and some bizarre psychoacoustic processing using delays and phase. It worked, but it was weird and quirky. Definitely NOT a pro-audio device... until a major rock engineer discovered that it did amazing things to guitars when he recorded one of the most influential and successful metal albums on the planet. The WOW Thing became the secret sauce on many iconic albums.
An industry secret, now a plug-in.
Dan Korneff managed to buy a WOW Thing fifteen years ago and it became a staple of his guitar processing. However, he wanted to use it on background vocals and reverbs, and the original boxes are hard to come by. So he recreated it and now it's available as a plug-in.
Think of WOW Thing as an acoustic hug: anytime you want a sound to stretch beyond the confines of the normal stereo field, the WOW Thing is the thing.
If you're looking for freaky Lo-Fi mystery, the WOW Thing is your cheap plastic friend, now in convenient plug-in form.
