you make me feel for Sam here, which I don't do so often *shifty eyes*. Oh, that's actually really awesome to hear! I definitely can understand distance toward Sam in the last year but it's neat you thought the empathy came through for you here anyway. So, thanks!
what's that slight double displacement thing you mention there? Inquiring minds really, really want to know *hopeful*. Oh, actually it's nothing really complicated. Just if you take two copies of the same audio and line them up on two different audio tracks so they play exactly together? Then shift one copy over a millisecond or so, and when you play them together, it will thicken the sound. After a point, the further your shift is, the less you'll get the fuller sound, and the more you'll hear a disconnect instead. Of course, you can do this trick to thicken the sound even more, with as many copies as you want, but it all depends on how small your increments are on the program you‘re using. I’ve found it helpful with older recordings that sound thin in comparison to modern recordings [which almost all now employ a similar (if way more complex) technique of overlaying sounds as the producing standard].
Err, not sure if that was what you were looking for, but hopefully it was somewhat helpful!
