@@studioonerevealed oh man, you really are providing the Studio One community with gold! Hats off to you Mike!

I've always put the low cut filter in the send after the reverb -- I'll have to listen to both and see if I can hear a difference. I can see an argument for doing it beforehand as it gives the reverb (frequency-wise) only what you, ultimately, want it to work with. If your mixer window currently tosses all the send busses to the right, unchecking the box will only affect future busses. It will, however, allow you to manually drag the send bus over next to the channel in question. I prefer to have the two together like Mike shows it here. It can get a wee bit confusing if you have several doing similar things and they're all off to the right.

Now that's a plugin chain that makes perfect sense!!! Thanks, mate!😊

Excellent demo. I like ducking my delay/plate reverb/room reverb send channel, getting that same effect. Studio One makes it easy enough to do that.

[@LoganOgletree]

This channel is a blessing 🙏🏻

Thank you Logan:)

Best S1 Channel

[@BobMcCarroll]

Thanks Mike. Appreciate the clear and concise explanations you always provide-never mind, so useful, too.

[@eshortsax]

Always great!

This was the first of your videos I ran across and it was such perfect timing. Was looking for a video to help with general ducking, but ran across this instead. I've been mixing a song and was struggling with this exact problem of my vocalist wanting a ton of reverb but I wanted him way up in front if the mix instead. This is EXACTLY what we needed. It sounds fantastic in our mix. I've had to go shotgun a bunch of your videos, because your presentation method and style is just perfect. Very watchable snd very informative while still keeping everything moving along and not lingering. Keep it up!

Thank you mike, i like it so much. How can i live without it before? And by the Way, her Voice is so beautiful and harmonized so well with the Acoustic Guitar

[@studioonerevealed]

Thank you! It's my pleasure :)

[@blulacez4421]

Solid!!Thanks for sharing this gem Mike!

[@studioonerevealed]

My pleasure - thanks for watching!

[@jspacone]

Very interesting. I understand the low build-up with reverb. This video suggested a low cut BEFORE the reverb. Other channels have suggested a low cut AFTER the reverb.

[@DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579]

Probably a personal preference thing. Try both and listen to them. Find what works best for your situation. I myself hit my delay/plate reverb/hall reverb first. Then I’ll use EQ with the Abbey Road trick, high pass about 400 Hz, then low pass at about 8 kHz (edit frequencies to taste). For high and low pass, I’m not doing steep roll-offs, 6 or 12 dB typically. Finally, I’ll use sidechain compression. All on its own send channel.

[@abzee733]

In fact most of the times a high cut on the reverb is also very beneficial. If you don't cut the high frequencies on the reverb they will add up very fast!

[@DavidMohMusic]

Nice video, but are you a cubase guy?

[@AGZT94]

What’s that on your ear if you don’t mind me asking 😅

[@studioonerevealed]

Oh it's just some in-ear monitors. For non-crital listening, sometimes I prefer for video :)

[@mba-zmusic5440]

Wow ❤

[@patrickgoethals3235]

Is the order of the plugins important? Or is there a difference when, for example, you put the EQ after the REV. Thx 4 the vid. (google transl. i am dutch.)

[@studioonerevealed]

Thanks for the question. There CAN be a difference, although it's often subtle. I mostly have the EQ before, just to eliminate any low rumble before reaching the EQ. However, it may be that the reverb accentuates certain frequencies - especially high frequencies, that you may enjoy or think are too much. In which case, an EQ afterwards can also be used.

[@arnoldxode]

Was this song already released??

[@studioonerevealed]

Soon to be released!

[@arnoldxode]

@@studioonerevealed locked in 💯

[@arnoldxode]

@@studioonerevealed did you get to release the song?

[@apchan]

reverb almost sounds like a delay 🙂

[@iCLICKSTUDIOPRODUCTIONS]

Hey Mike, this is a wonderful demonstration and helped me a lot to clean up my mixing. By the way I have a question about how to add airy vocals or something like the reference video if you can listen to it for a minute and explain how this vocal tone is achieved? Many thanks in advance. Reference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHu8h4ikjJaKntk

[@LonelyStarOfficial]

Can anyone explane, why all the time when i Put autotune in the the track with reverb, doesn't Matter with Bus or other Things, my voice is gonna BE doubled. Autotune in and reverb turned Off, No doubling. Reverb turned on autotune Off, No doubling. Both together = 🤬🤬🤬

[@zacalakemusic]

Why turn this into a novel? You don’t address the subject of the KZbin for four minutes and 20 seconds, what’s the deal?
