Making gun sounds appear in the distance
by John Kleischven on May 11, 2008 at 3:57:07 am

Hello everyone,
Well, what I am trying to do is make gun sounds appear as if they are int he distance. I have over 200 gun sounds, so the sound is not the problem. It's just making it sound as if its in the distance. The only way I can think of that would get the job done is turning the bass down half way and adding some reverb. However, I know there is a much better more authentic way to do that. I'm using premiere pro so it has most of the normal audio tools.
Thanks in advance

Not a bad plan, John. Maybe roll off a bit of the top end as well. Air knocks down HF.

It sort of depends on whether or not you want real gun sounds or "movie" gun sounds.

Movie gun sounds are artificially concocted.

Well, I have a mix of movie sounds and real sounds. TBH im not an audio buff, so I really have no clue. Any specific instructions I could get? Thanks in advance

It's pretty open to interpretation. How big (unrealistically big) do you want 'em to sound?

Add low end effects, add bomb explosions, add lightning strikes. Layer it all and see what you get. Enjoy.
