Reverb Techniques
« on: September 21, 2016, 05:27:41 pm »
Just curious about anybody's techniques for using reverb on different sounds. I tend to struggle with finding reverbs that fit with the sound they're reverberating, so I was curious if anybody had any cool techniques. (creating verbs that fit things like snares vs verbs that fit synths)

convolution reverb allows you to capture an impulse response of reverberation of any environment you can think of.

might help solver your problem if you're looking for reverberation characteristics aside from a digital plug in.


That aside, you can use EQ and other effects like you would with any other sound component. That requires you to buss the soundsource into a reverb channel and then further hone the reverb.

sending the source signal to several different busses of reverb will give you several layers of reverb with potentially different characteristics (if you're applying the technique stated above).


The more layers you assign to a sound source, the more control you'll need to place them with in a range that is coherent. other wise you're gonna be in a sea of multiple reverbs.
Josh Huval: Honestly, the guys who are making good art are spending their time making it.

try set up some all ready pre made reverb settings so you can just drop it to save valuable time, you should already have settings in your return channel or bus in a template

the most important things in reverb are decay, pre-delay and size, dry/wet

heres an AMA by steve duda which will help
