In this case though, I gated the shit out of the snares, so there is no overlap to give the characteristic interference pattern. But with the reverb and compression, the end result is probably identical. Nice chatting audio, I get to do it so rarely<i>!</i> I know that super-tight flange-effect, well :)

I got an idea for a GREAT Quiz... how about 15 random samples of Frodo (Elijah Woods) being a a complete and utter whiny git... "I can't do this, Sam." or "Gan-DAAAAAALLLLFFFFF" and then we get to match that to the appropriate place in the Movie. Ohhhhh!

I tried to replicate it without electronics, and came up with dropping a laundry basket from a few feet up in a reverberant space, which was as close to the original as I could get. I remember being absolutely amazed with that sound when I first heard it in the movie. Great stuff! I totally agree about the seismic charge.

I love doing things like this, it's a lot of fun, and great ear training. Obviously, you can't replicate the original, but it's the puzzle of getting close that makes it fun.
