Dynamic Reverb in REAPER

[@ToyKeeper]

Pretty cool trick. It gives the impression of a big reverb, but without making everything all muddy.

[@vivenzeo]

And there i was drawing automation lanes to get that dynamic reverb effect lol. Thanks Kenny, all the best.

[@eshwarn77]

Same here.. LOL. Reaper is awesome and so is our Kenny!

[@BeyondTheWall_Gaming]

Kenny, my man, thanks for being so clear and concise on your tutorials. Great job as always.

[@Erudotic]

He is incredibly clear and concise indeed! I also love how he doses his words so slow in small chunks, gives the brain the time it needs to really get it all.

[@abrotherinchrist]

That's way cleaner than using a compressor to duck the verb. Parameter modulation really opens a lot of options. Thanks for the video!

[@RaymmanVO]

Watched the video last nite, took me 10 minutes this morning to duplicate and understand ... Awesome. Thank you Kenny

[@vanhaze2000]

Excellent and incredibly useful, top notch Kenny, as always ! FX parameter modulation in Reaper is really powerful and a breeze to setup.

[@KEI-um1kc]

Maybe it's a breeze because it's lacking a lot... - no ADSR for parameters at all - no shape control or custom shapes - no modulating of modulation - no easy global modulation setting - random modulation setting is set in stone and can't be defined for... example, step modulation I love reaper and have been following you and admire you... but we have to admit modulation in reaper is a joke.

[@bulemy]

@@KEI-um1kc you can use your imagination and come up with solutions)

[@arunkumarveeravalli2980]

Wow, this was informative and came at the right time for me as a blessing in disguise, thank you

[@artysanmobile]

This is an awfully geeky approach to something easily accomplished with a much simpler dynamics sidechain. However, the possibility to dynamically alter other parameters, such as decay time, is really special. Thank you, Kenny, for revealing this well hidden trick.

[@cedricsimonakafrozenjazz]

The best trick ever. Just wanted to find a quick and easy way to fine tune a ducker for any reverb. This works sooo well, thanks, thanks!

[@AlbertSirup]

glad i stuck til the end of the video to learn that you can actually save the parameter modulation... and here i was modulating a panning lfo for my delays each and every time. thank you kenny!

[@BazzTriton]

“Hy, I’am Kenny Gioia, welcome” ... I love this

[@Richorob]

What a fantastic video... There’s so much undiscovered Reaper & you’re the Guru... Thanks a lot mate! Now I can’t get her vocals out of my head 😂 Thanks again Kenny 👍🏻

[@musicmaestrodj]

Awesome tutorial for the best DAW available. Thanks! 🙏

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Dude, you are a *lifesaver!!* Every other tutorial about sidechain reverb ducking I could find needed an additional track or bus to slap the reverb on, which makes the mixer far too cluttered for my taste. THIS here is slim, elegant, and functional!

[@jamessharier7529]

Thanks Kenny, That was awesome, after the initial setup and save, it’s so easy to access for future recordings

[@chrisakol]

I'm glad I found this channel. Love it!

[@leightaft7763]

Damn thanks Kenny. Doing this today for sure. Been looking for something like this without automation

[@fouadsamiei]

What a Magical Technique , Thanks Kenny

[@compoundaudio]

Wow.. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom

[@IngenieroJorgeIvan]

Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento Kenny. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@napoleonbousoulas1651]

Thats great, coming from ableton background didnt know how to do that in reaper. I like dynamic reverbs on almost everything haha

[@TheDavidfallon]

That's just brilliant. Knowledge is power.

[@pvalenti]

Darn, could've used this about a week ago for my Reaper Mixing Contest submission! Thanks though... I'll definitely be incorporating this into my bag of tricks!

[@rajnaidu5521]

Due,!How dose anybody get into the Mixing contest?

[@pvalenti]

@@rajnaidu5521 reamixed.com/ go there and read and follow the instructions. Also go to the forums to join the discussion.

[@nikirose7673]

Great stuff. I was watching a (I think) Warren Huart video the other day about using sidechaining to duck specific frequencies in a reverb return, but Reaper's parameter modulation makes setting this up a whole lot easier.

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

Great video.😎

[@PASHKULI]

Long anticipated trick! Thanks Kenny! Reaper is the present.

[@ajaxrodriguez8956]

Wow! I didn’t know about the parameter modulation adjustments! Thanks for sharing!

[@Audiomishran]

This is amazing

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Excellent! Thank you Kenny. Just hating that youtube is no longer sending email notifications for new uploads.....a real pain.

[@djabthrash]

Same

[@rikepi507]

again..... #RepaerCleverness. You are killing it with these videos Kenny!

[@gennady640]

It's very good channel and video! Thanks for your great work! Maybe you can record about delay, or you have video about delay as fx for vocal and back vocals?

[@robertmyers6518]

Fantastic! I've been trying to figure this out, of and on, for years. Thanks, Kenny!

[@Matoro342]

Didn't even know I could do this, thank you!

[@DonjayX]

Extremely useful, as always. Kenny shall never buy his own beer in my presence.

[@MrBillmilk]

thank you so much Kenny!

[@ManDaKi-79]

Thankyou Kenny 💯

[@artemi-music]

thanks, was wondering how to perform something like that for a while

[@michaelvangeldergelderland4239]

Love this!

[@digitalbrain555]

Love your videos Kenny!!! Thank you for the knowledge.

[@LiveeviL6969]

I have been wanting to do this for a long time but could never figure it out. Thanks!

[@nickagervasi]

As always, thanks for this. Your videos are great!

[@iamjohnbose0408]

As usual another awesome video !!!!! Thank you so much Kenny !!!!! 😊❤

[@jonmatthews4254]

Really useful, I'll use that on all sorts of things. Cheers Kenny.

[@corystevenponzo7007]

Awsome trick of the trade. Thank you!

[@rossorganisation]

That's awesome. Thanks Kenny!

[@PaoloPiovesan]

Super thanks... must try this on the send level

[@koteotake]

"Track 1" Acapella - send to "Track 2" with any Reverb 1+2, and send to "Track 2" SC Compression 3+4.

[@vanhaze2000]

IMHO: More tedious workflow than what is showed in the vid, but hey, thx anyway.

[@boxofknives]

He often shows many methods to accomplish similar results. I think the only thing missing in this video, compared to his normal content, is a brief mention of why he thinks you'd use one method over the other.

[@LYSHEmusic]

The main difference here is that this way we can compress inserted reverb on the same track. And also we can modulate another parameters of any effects this way.

[@BillGraper]

Awesome stuff! 🙂

[@dagamusik]

Hi Kenny any idea why my baseline value doesn't change the modulated parameter as in 3:50? All configurations are the same as yours

[@tutorialessoftware2933]

This information was cool. Thanks!

[@narbellmano4953]

excellent ! ! ! thank you very much !

[@kersleybk9318]

You are the best

[@TOMOLIVERMUSIC]

Thanks So much!! I love yours videos !

[@ValirAmaril]

If you're mixing solo accoustic guitar, this is solid gold

[@jaykiass]

Great

[@Jellybeantiger]

Wondered how Led Zep got those massive reverbs on the vocal tails,probably this technique and delay maybe (Led Zep 2 album).

[@LYSHEmusic]

I think that similar effect can be achived by compressing the reverb channel with vocal signal as side chain trigger.

[@Sven-ola]

or riding the faders

[@davehampsonofficial]

Amazing. I’m using this for all sorts. I’m thinking dynamic tremolo effect 🤔

[@DefkalionDs]

Thank you so much for this!!!!!

[@ulfsvensson9710]

I realy like it!! Thanx!

[@joeheukerott9186]

Oh, and thanks for this great video!

[@Alveles]

Kenny, whats the diferrence in this methode compare to ducking the reverb with a compressor in a bus track?

[@REAPERMania]

No different really

[@LuisFelipe-zf5du]

Ótima dica

[@mikeferguson4816]

KG RULEZ!

[@ZethKeeper]

Can you do the same for send volume?

[@trevortjes]

Damn, didn't know this was all built in thus removing the need of setting up sidechain compression.

[@KaelLovesMusic]

Hi Kenny, I really loved your videos but may I ask If I can use this for Live singing? or do you have another video for Live vocal with reverb Thank you so much in advanced. God Bless!

[@ridepone7515]

can I also use it for delays and other effects?

[@onec0rn184]

Can i request how to mix vocal for recording cover songs

[@ValirAmaril]

What does 'direction: centered' do?

[@louddb1]

Thanks Kenny A looooooot

[@musicmaestrodj]

Kenny, how would you do this using a bus? I would like to use a bus to trigger a delay and then have that delay fed into a reverb. Could you assist with that? Thanks.

[@ДАВАЙСПОЕМДОМАШНЯЯСТУДИЯЗВУКОЗ]

❤️👍👍👍

[@TomWilkowske]

Kenny, can you give a use case for this -- why would you reach for a dynamic reverb in a mix?

[@DreErdna]

I think i might like this more than using a comp

[@AudioReplica2023]

Nice

[@oridoron7]

Small question to almighty Kenny! Your signal after the reverb is about minus 6 db. Is it enough headroom? My raw vocals being around minus 18 (as you recommend in other video) - and it doesn't change much after eq and compressor. I find it hard to bring it to the values you arebin this video. Thanks!

[@joeheukerott9186]

If you were using a combination of two reverbs, you’d have to do this separately for each verb, right?

[@REAPERMania]

yeah

[@stephentai3730]

You could mix the reverbs together and adjust the level on the sum.

[@CarlosBritow]

greetings master, how can you create a shimmer type reverb in reaper?

[@장병철-g6p]

good

[@Brendolicous]

What would the benefits of this be over sidechaining a compressor to the vocal be?

[@DirkBelig]

Because this adjusts only the wet mix parameter of the reverb based on the audio level rather than compressing the vocal level which isn't what we're trying to do. The goal isn't to change the level of the vocal, but ride the fader on how much reverb is occurring when. This way the big room sound isn't making the vocal sound mushy when singing while filling the gaps with verb.

[@PapaLeech89]

What microphone did you use to record this vocal?

[@snooky-1888]

kenny i dont wanna be rude but can you please do a tutorial on Dynamic Delays and Reverbs in a Mix. like the first letter in a word reapets its self while there is reverse reverb in the background

[@samueljoseph1867]

How to do in Fabfilter R

[@kool-movies]

same way, move/click fabfilter pro r knobs then click param and set up.you can also have multiple knobs automated at the same time..

[@samueljoseph1867]

@@kool-movies Yea. Thanks and i got it tried.

[@bergermartin]

@5:48 you mention something that I reported as a bug. Changing attack or release shouldn't affect the strength! It shows a very poor implementation of an otherwise very versatile tool, IMHO.

[@BachtiarDwi]

I never saw technic like this in any mixing strategy tips. I dont know when or why we should use this technic. Can anyone give me a hint?

[@nersonangelopis-an942]

it's very important, if you like strong reverbs for available spaces popular in some genres.. so the lyrics don't get washed out while the vocalist is singing and still have that dramatic big reverb in vocal rests

[@1086Guitarwanker]

I was thinking maybe can do dynamic delay the same way

[@vivenzeo]

he covered that already, i think.
