Another noob audio effect question:
What tools (software) and techniques are used to
accomplish the effect of a source of sound appearing
to move >gradually from one speaker to another?
I'm not talking about mere channel swapping, but
rather something like the final auditory illusion
suggesting gradual movement, e.g. a horse galloping
by, or a train with its whistle being 'dopplerized'.
A simple pan should suffice. If you want the doppler effect an automated
pitch change should do the trick. (any simple editor with panning and
plug-in support) If you want to model the environment, the TAP reverb
editor would probably be best for that.
None of this is hardware dependant. Your soundcard should work just
fine.
