Andrew Scheps Vocal Reverb

[@Beethovan]

Excellent video on Vocal Reverb. Thank you very much. It helped me set Reverb & Delay correctly. I was struggling with Vocal Reverb & Delay for many months.

[@GreenLightSound]

Happy to help!

[@correametal]

This is so awesome, thanks! Also thanks for showing alternatives for those of us who don't own the original plugins used. You are great!!!

[@GreenLightSound]

Thank you!

[@cabuffal0]

Your video is different than others and keep your audience interested. Thanks.

[@ManchesterMusic]

There’s an interesting buzz in the high frequencies in your VO..can’t put my finger on what’s causing it but whenever the gate opens up it’s there. Enjoying the video though!

[@reziahamed6654]

Love all your nice insights towards this King of a Mixer's best practices... Always consice & to the point... Thanks millions Joe...👍👍👍🏅🎆

[@Schodemeiss]

Just me, or is there an interesting buzz whenever you're speaking. Great info as always though!

[@Kaiohate]

Its the softube saturation knob plugin

@@Kaiohate Nope, just my voice was a little ragged the day I filmed this.

[@jacobcarrisalez2477]

It sounds like a ground loop, (or a unshielded XLR cable touching something with RF or whatever) love the content though 🙏🏾

Nice! Just saw this in the recommendations 👋

I love this reverb a lot

New subscriber here! Great content, especially these "tips from the pros" videos, thank you! 🔥

[@GreenLightSound]

Welcome!

[@johnsammers]

Nice tip - and I have all those plugins - thanks muchly. I'm wondering whether this would be the same for all parts, I.e. filter out top and bottom. I know that some producers like to side chain a compressor so that the reverb blooms more in the spaces between vocal lines....thoughts?

[@GreenLightSound]

This works for any part if you want the reverb to be less obvious. I sometimes sidechain a compressor to the vocal, depending o how high the reverb level is in the mix. Same thing with delays.

[@MaheshPeter]

Hi.. New subscriber here.. Great content!! I have a doubt.. I have seen built-in low pass - high pass controls in certain reverb plugins.. Would that be sufficient in making the frequency cuts or does adding a dedicated EQ make any difference?

[@GreenLightSound]

The built in EQ on some reverbs is totally fine, as long as it has the range you're looking for. No need for a dedicated EQ in that case, unless you want to make other changes.

[@KarasamaBeats]

Nice vid fam ! I’d love to listen to this full song if available on streaming platforms. What a vibe

[@Psypher_sage]

Can you do a tutorial on how to blend the delay and reverb together in a mix?

[@burgyysantana5518]

Awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[@9uidin9li9ht2]

Is the filterbank plugin different from a standard EQ ? Thanks

[@GreenLightSound]

It can create curves that stock EQ can't.

[@musictech5789]

I'm a subscriber and HUGE fan. Love this video but I have a question on an unrelated topic: I'm trying to do screencast videos using Quicktime byt the problem is when screencast recording my DAW and them render the Quicktime screencast as a .mp4 movie file, i lose the stereo mix....everything sounds mono. Any ideas why this happens and which screencast software do you recommened for Apple Mac?

[@GreenLightSound]

I don't know why QuickTime renders to mono, but I use ScreenFlow for my screen captures and highly recommend it.

[@musictech5789]

@@GreenLightSound Okay great! Thank you so much for responding... I will give Screenflwo a try.

[@hodshonf]

Nicely presented - I like stock EQ and Valhalla better.

[@OznerpaGMusiC]

i could be wrong since i don't know UAD, but is that a 40ms pre-delay on the far right switch of the EMT? just curious since there was no corresponding pre-delay on the Valhalla

[@GreenLightSound]

You're right - I should have dialed in the pre-delay on the Valhalla.

[@aahl1680]

Back in the days it's called Abby Roads Trick

[@antcall6779]

Great as always thanks! Quick question sending the vocal to the verb pre fader was that for just demonstration purpose or do you normally do that?

[@GreenLightSound]

Just for the video so I could bring the dry vocal down and hear the verb by itself.

[@antcall6779]

@@GreenLightSound gotcha that's what I figured, just wanted to make sure. Thanks man you rock🤘

[@aleksandarstojceski3139]

@@GreenLightSound Do you normally send it post fader? Does this makes difference?

[@GreenLightSound]

@@aleksandarstojceski3139 I do normally send post fader. That way if I automate the vocal the reverb level will change with the automation.

[@LibyaStar]

thx 4 everything but where can i listen to this song really its unique the chords the guitars and the piano great work

[@weedywet]

the EMT 250 is a digital reverb (probably the FIRST digital reverb), it's not in any way a "plate"

[@GreenLightSound]

True, I meant it in the sense that it was designed as an alternative to the EMT 140.

[@weedywet]

@@GreenLightSound I'm not sure it was meant to sound like a plate, it certainly doesn't! in the same way that EMT had previously made the 240 Gold FOIL reverb, again not a plate. Just their attempts at different reverbs. I remember reading way back that the original 140 Plate was actually trying to emulate the riveter of a particular stone church they thought was ideal. But needless to say a plate reverb doesn't sound like a church, and a gold foil doesn't sound like a plate, and the 250 digital doesn't wound like any of those. Love a 250, I've used them since they first came out in the late 1970s on just about every record I've made, but they are nothing like plate reverb, in or out of the box.

[@ombilicdes]

The Sanctuary algorithm in Valhalla Vintge Verb is inspired by the EMT-250. That would probably be a better substitute for the UAD EMT-250.@@GreenLightSound

[@JJRockford]

I think it’s worth noticing that Andrew tells specifically in the mixing template video that he change the actual settings in his reverb a lot from song to song and that he have no idea what the specific settings shown will sound like.

[@GreenLightSound]

Good point. I think I mentioned that in the video - tweak the reverb to suit the song.

[@jeanpaulawoundza6644]

Please the name of the track

[@MustacheVerra]

Thanks for the tip. The Valhalla sounded more sophisticated than the vintage EMT. BTW, any thoughts on the presonus news? Any inside info? Got me a bit worried.

[@GreenLightSound]

No inside info, and I'm a bit worried too. There are many engineers who were burned when Gibson bought Cakewalk/Sonar, then ceased development of the software. Hope that doesn't happen here - I would prefer not to go back to Pro Tools!

[@MustacheVerra]

@@GreenLightSound Haha! I bet!

[@ukaszkusmirek6872]

I prefer dry for this arrangement

[@BryOdhiambo]

Great tutorial but you did not show your send levels to the reverb.....

[@GreenLightSound]

Default send level. The reverb blend is controlled with the fader on the reverb channel itself.

[@BryOdhiambo]

@@GreenLightSound Thanks. This clarifies....

[@LetsKillua]

Its better dry.

[@Erudotic]

Are you kidding? Just your basic reverb setup. By the way, there's still ubnoxious level of sibilance, tune it down; use your ears instead of blindly copying settings.

[@GreenLightSound]

I'm just presenting it the way he does it. As I said in the video, the vocal had no processing on it yet, so no de-esser. The de-esser plus the 6.6K filter would tame the sibilance.

[@hodshonf]

Lighten up and use spell check.

[@GingerDrums]

Are you kidding? Just tone down the hostile vibe. I was also slightly wondering why a reverb send warrants a 6min video, but then again there are people who are doing this for the first time, and it's great to have tried and tested settings to start off with and step by step hand holding style tutorial.

[@Erudotic]

@@GingerDrums you're right, I'm sorry.

[@brokenthong]

pretty much common sense here..

[@GreenLightSound]

Yes it is, but still helpful for beginners!
