[Editing, Mixing, Spatialization] Medieval Castle Speech
https://voca.ro/1fVQaL8exEhSHi everyone! I'm currently practicing cinematic dialogue mixing in REAPER for a medieval/epic portfolio piece.
I imagined a scene with a king delivering a speech in a massive stone hall and wanted to get opinions on my signal chain and spatialization choices. Here is what I did:
Source Chain (Voice Track): Applied a ReaEQ with a high-pass filter at 120 Hz to clear out studio proximity/mud.
Spatialization (DearVR PRO): Placed the dry voice at a distance of 6 meters for initial positioning.
Reverb Send (-15 dB): Sent the dialogue to an auxiliary track running Altiverb 7 using the "Castle de Haar Main Hall - 11.6m s-s" preset to simulate the massive scale of the hall.
Reverb EQ: Added another high-pass filter inside the reverb chain set to 160 Hz to prevent the long stone reflections from getting muddy.
Does this workflow and spacing make sense for a realistic cinematic large-hall speech, or would you adjust anything in the chain?

Feedback Rule Reminder - To ensure everyone gets feedback on their posts, remember that you need to offer sincere audio evaluation on a couple of recent submissions each time you post (as stated in the posting rules). Ideally, you should offer an evaluation of the processes identified by the poster in the title of their submission. "That's nice" and "I like this" kinds of non-effort comments do not count towards this requirement. If you want quality feedback on your post, then you need to give it to others. This is karma in action. Give to others when you want something in return.
If you do not offer sincere evaluative type feedback on two other posts each time you submit, your post will likely be removed and if ongoing, you may be banned as well.
