REVERB Hack You Wish You Knew Earlier

[@migats2160]

This is called a reverb send. I use this trick all the time. It makes the reverb very bright.

[@EDMTips]

And the beauty is, you can shape the send reverb with EQ to give it just the tone you want

[@tomik6537]

brightness is often a texture in the high end, so what do you mean

[@BIG_PASTA]

​@@tomik6537 Yeah no idea... using a reverb on a send doesn't change its tonality lol.

[@BassPlayerAvailable]

Which part is the “Hack” exactly?

[@migats2160]

@@tomik6537 What I said. I noticed a reverb send has for some reason a better high end response. Individual reverbs can clash with each other, making it not really sound like one room.

This is legit, I never knew how to set it up with drum rack like that, that’s what I love about producing, even after all these years I’m still learning all the time

[@thelateraledge]

Here's an actual hack: Do what he did then add mid/side EQ and boost the side. This will make the reverb sound even wider. You can do the opposite as well. Adding the mid/side eq will give you an extra dimension of control over where the reverb sits. Of course when doing this kind of mid/side thing you should put a correlation meter at the end and check that you aren't pushing things too far.

[@G9K1]

Holy crap, I can't believe I have never thought of routing the send from within the drum rack to the regular return tracks! I always set 2 identical room reverb sends (one as a return track and one as return within the drum rack) because I don't want to send the whole group to the reverb! And breaking the rack into separate tracks just for mixing is sometimes a headache... Although I already use the tip you shown, this is a great workflow improve and CPU saver I have learned instead :D

[@EDMTips]

Rock on! Glad you found this helpful! 🙂🙌🏻

[@PreFusah]

[@PlanCoBySeb]

What’s the name of this music program? It seems beginner friendly for us newbies.

[@EDMTips]

It's Ableton Live :)

[@thetylersherman]

Wow - I was under the impression that reverb sends for a drum rack had to be self-contained within the drum rack itself as a return chain. Didn't realize you could send it out to your master Sends. ... Probably should have figured this out earlier.

[@EDMTips]

Better later than never! :)

[@amruze]

In logic it’s default setup is like this, one for echo and one for reverb

[@EDMTips]

Great, thank you for sharing!

[@sleeptownProductions]

yo! thank you!! I knew there was a way to do this in a drum rack, finally!!

[@nashmichaeld]

Yeah!!!!!!!

[@EDMTips]

Cheers! 🙌🏻

[@LanceJordan]

Cool, but only subtle difference on b4/aftr

[@glowwaveofficial]

You can use the hybrid reverb to automatically take the side signal out below 100

[@leth6869]

i didnt know you could use your sends on drum racks aswel thanks!

[@kanedNunable]

great tip but annoying we cant add these clips to favs to watch again to remind me.

[@wiggertvanameijde4584]

Do you sent also your vocal to that room besides the hall verb?

[@bobbyculdesack2309]

You look so much like this guy i used to work with, so its like double the entertainment value. Cuz he had a heavy southern accent but you got a british accent 🤷‍♂️

[@dimitribarrow7]

That’s I always thought it was taboo to use reverb on kicks and bass 😅

[@UdumbaraMusic]

Depends on the genre, what frequencies you're using in the reverb (hence low cuts) and how much you're using. A lot of techno uses it for that 'big room' feel, for example. I used to never do it because I was told not to and massively regret listening to them. There are a lot of weird "rules" that are wrong, don't apply to everything, are only necessary with old equipment or only apply in the analogue domain... Old myths, essentially.

[@lorenzmager]

also sidechaining the kick a lil on the return channel 👌👌

[@gameon2000]

Thanks a lot. It blows my mind. But why overcomplicate the music production? Meanwhile we're wasting more time learning what a legion of cryptical software buttons COULD do, than producing good music, peoöle enjoy (and buy!) I've been succesfully producing electronic music for the last 30 years without (the NEED to know) all that shebang. Hardware sequencer and a 4 track recorder that ist. All, people care for, is: melody, lyrics and groove.

[@joost5075]

When do you recommend having reverb on 100% dry?

[@darzebmusic1984]

When you put reverb in a return channel, otherwise you will duplicate the original signal. When you use reverb in the insert channel you have to find right amount of dry/wet

[@haraldbackfisch1981]

Take any reverb set it to 40% dry, then turn it off and listen to the difference. Turn it back on and set it to 100% dry, then turn it back off. Leave it off and uninstall the reverb. Now all of your track will sound crisp and dry. 10/10 would recommend.

[@BIG_PASTA]

Never, because 100% dry equates to having no reverb at all.

[@AndrosYang]

Damn didnt know group devices had return tracks

[@godismen]

Same.

[@Six2Nine]

it's a matter of taste. dry sounds even better.

[@EDMTips]

I guess it is a matter of taste 🙂

[@chriswesel3281]

Maybe you think so, but the tip was about using a reverb on a separate aux channel and that definitely sounds better most of the time compared to just putting it on the same channel.

[@helina-keijo9561]

If you use eq on fx send please use linear or minimum phase mode it will sound more clear :--)!

[@djlexero]

In one video you are saying Do not use reverb, and in other Put it on everything.
