Re: Making gun sounds appear in the distance

Another way you could do it is by using a reverb plugin that allows you to control the wet/dry ratio of the effect output. That is, the amount of effect (wet) versus the amount of original sound (dry).

In this way, you can set dry to 0% so what you are hearing is only the output of your reverb chain. If you choose a hall as your reverb, then your 100% wet signal will sound like you are truly hearing it from inside a hall.

Experiment with what size reverb you want, that is, type and reverb time, and if you can, set the wet percentage to 100, and the dry percentage to 0.

I would probably go with a small sized reverb but a longer reverb time (and 0% original signal, only the output of the reverb). Also, try to layer as many sound sources as you can with slightly different reverb settings and stereo placing.
