I have a use for a chorus and of course I have many plugins for this. But they are simply too exact, and therefore create bad side-effects. I'm looking for recommendations on alternative plugins or solutions. I call this a 'woolly chorus' - in lack of better words.
A chorus/flanger effect, in essence, is to play a duplicate of the original signal parallel to the original, with an added ~1-20ms delay. Sometimes seasoned with slight detuning (static or oscillating).
My problem is that the 'delay' is too sharp, to clear and exact. Imagine a guitar or vocal part with pronounced attacks, these characteristics gets imitated very exactly by the duplicate chorus signal. The result - together with the original signal - sounds like a very short delay, a short room reverb, early reflections, even comb filtering effects sometimes. It's very unwanted, and screws up the 3D sensation of tracks bigtime.
The thickened chorusing effect on long notes, is usually good. But the envelope and sharp characteristics, translates 'too well', which creates an unwanted characteristic. Eventide's chorus or detuning effects are super exact, which is a feat in itself, but it's also where I hear this effect the most.
I am in need of a chorus/flanging effect which is much 'less exact'. In lack of better words I call this 'a woolly chorus'. I guess it must be much less effective in translating the sharp characteristics, must be more 'blurry', at least in regards to translating transients and dynamics.
I have a number of ideas on how to possibly achieve this, but I'm having problems finding a clear route there in my mind, or how to select the best way.
Are there techniques, or even plugins, which might conforms to this need?
If you would go about this, how would you do it?
thx
