hey there,hope you dont mind me throwing a question your way.
i could proably ask in tech.but i know theres experience in here.
 
i know theres alot of things i could do but my client is looking for that "Frampton comes alive" sound..to make it more live sounding.
straight delay and reverb are not cutting it.
 
so before i set up stereo speakers on each end of my studio and place the mic's 10 feet away.
i want your opinions.
 
i only wish i had the record plants elevator shaft they used for the second part of "train kept a rollin" by Aerosmith..
that sure sounded almost live.so did Frampton comes alive...i dont think that was live either,if it was it was overdubed.
 
thanks

First, rent a large stadium.
Next, hire 30,000 extras to cheer.

Alternatively use a convolution reverb and get an impulse of the Carnegie Hall to go with it.
 
Then say 'do you feel like I do' and 'everyday' alot.

Ooo...  Good point!  He's going to need a Golden Throat (or similar) too.

yea,more i think about it,i should have posted this in technics.never mind.
sorry guys.

Yeah, sorry about that, but this IS the Coffee House...

What if you clone the Master track twice

Pan 1 hard left and 1 hard wight and barely turn 'em up to where ya just start to hear them?

reverb and a track or two of audience noise will get you close. Listen to some good live albums... one that comes to mind is Humble Pie Rockin the Filmore..... listen to the variety of audience sounds, hoots, laughs, and other things going on in the audience..... and the music is good too. 

The reverb is critical to get that hall/arena sound and some have presets with names like that..... but the real clincher is the sounds of the audience. You need to have a variety of audience sounds and tracks to blend in and use or it will sound like the canned laughter they use on TV sitcoms.
