How do i make the Leslie speaker sound more watery?

On some records i listen to the leslie speaker and it sounds
more watery what do the engineers do to make the "Mix"
sound more watery then dry leslie

I tried to use reverb but it doesn't make it sound watery
there must be some engineering tricks to make the "Mix" sound
more watery VS wet
Reverb add to the leslie just made it sound "Wet" not watery
Do you guys know what i can do to make it sound more watery?
 
Is it a real Leslie?

I think this probably has something to do with mic placement and the model of the Leslie.

If it's not a real Leslie, you might just be stuck with what that offers.
 
Walters,

I to am frustrated although it seems we have choosen different paths to express it. Your path however more brilliant than mine and I am jealous.

Man I wish I had a good answer for the wet-vs-watery thing but I don't as you caught me off gaurd. I'll think about it.

Your thoughts??
 
Yes real Leslie speaker how do i make it sound more watery than wet
using a Reverb i want to sound more watery
 
I could make a reply here that has something to do with someone's head and a bucket of water, but I promised myself I'd stay out of your threads.

Oops...

What is the difference between wet and watery, in your thinking?
Perhaps adding stereo chorus in the path would give you more of the wavy slosh of amplitude as the horns and drum spin.
 
Well what sounds more watery than water. I would place the leslie into a small swimming pool. Then mic it with a U87. Don't worry about damage to the mic, the "U" stands for underwater.
 
Leslie effect:
wavy slosh of amplitude as the horns and drum spin.
wavy slosh of Pitch shifting as the horns and drum spin
wavy slosh of Phase shifting as the horns and drum spin

This Wavy Slosh is the watery technique to enhance to make
the leslie sound more watery
How do i do this?
 
It's pretty humid here in NC this summer and all my effects are sounding more watery slosh. Thus, I have to compander them with my creamy milker to compress the thickness of the elocution within my all tube silk DAW. I would suggest a VST slosher filter, like this:

Companding a milker inside a silk tube DAW to compress thickness. Ohh the eroticsm... :D
 
The sound of a leslie organ being watered by walters would weigh out any aftermath of a doppler effect in the winter. It's enough to make my organs rattle inside me. But it will still give you a decent stereo mix, ONLY if you automate your swirls. I always automate my swirls, after having a long chat with walters about recording concepts and the like.

Why don`t you just get a leslie?
To my knowledge I don't think that there is anything out there that would emulate it much better than a tube driven stereo chorus. I don`t know much though. :)

I have a watery feeling in my pants suddenly. Do farts have lumps?
 
You need to mic it at 4 points. Top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right. Record to separate tracks. Add slight reverb to top tracks. Space evenly. Compress, creamily and mix. You should have watery Leslie.
 
At the risk of giving a straight answer in a walters thread:

Watery is yielded by changing speeds on the Leslie.
 
I think a Leslie speaker "Repeats" the audio sound really fast
because the speaker is Spinning this "Repeating" is what
make that watery effect im talking about i think the Spinning
its one part of it but its more complex im not really sure whats
really making the leslie produce this watery effect im hearing

No. It cause by the Doppler Effect.

Is that like , you know, when something is close to you and all, it's like, well 'sounds like it`s up close. And if something is far away an stuff, it's gonna sound sorta like It's far away? And If it moves, will it sound like it's moving?
