Reverb Revealed

Ever felt like you’re just not getting the whole picture when it comes to using reverbs? What’s that plate preset really contributing to the mix, anyway?

This is an intermediate lesson. Being familiar with using reverb already will be helpful. However, if you are new to using reverbs, I’d encourage you to try this. It will improve your ability to discern the effect of changing different reverb settings and parameters.

Revealing the Reverb

This is a really useful trick I learned from Paul Stavrou in Mixing with Your Mind.

With this signal routing set-up you’ll send a pulse of pink noise through any reverb plug-in you have and at whatever tempo you want.
