Low frequency components can travel around the head easily, but the highs will be damped slightly by the head, so I'd try rolling off the highs on the lagging signal a slight amount, but leave the lows strong.Īlso, I'd make the whisper totally dry: no reverb.Īnother thought, strategic contrasts to other sounds can strengthen an impression. Delays that are greater than that amount are not going to be as effective (as a panning device).Ĭlose to the ear, there is going to be both very little roll-off of the highs and a really strong bass response. Not sure how effective that is with speakers, but I'm able to get some very real panning effects that way, even on my tiny laptop speakers.


I can't remember the exact number-something like 25 or 32 frames at 44100 fps, if I remember correctly. The goal is for the delay to match the amount of time it takes a sound to travel from one ear to the other. Try a delay of about 1/2 of a millisecond, if you have the capability, between the two channels, of the mono signal. I don't know if any of the following will work or not, but maybe worth an experiment.
