The BEST Reverb Settings for Mixing Vocals

[@cosignnetwork5784]

Best reverb tutorial on KZbin and trust me I feel like I’ve watched them all lol

[@carlosmohia7569]

I trust you

[@aydenperkins2005]

Yep. Right with you. I agree, and have watched them all too. This dude is no frills.

[@alanj9849]

Total noob here. I have been struggling for two weeks to get the reverb set properly for the vocals on a song I've been working on. I've seen the concepts you covered in other videos and blog posts, but nothing as clear and no nonsense as your explanation. FINALLY, this vocal actually sounds pretty good. Thank you!

[@MBey-rk8fv]

Love the fact that you use engineering math and common ear sense to control the outcome of your effect settings. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you, can't wait to check your videos.

[@self4autism333]

great idea to make an eq pocket for the vocals, I do that with piano as it is lots of the same frequency as the vocals. Herbie Hancock said he prefers the Rhodes piano with vocals as it is pretty scooped in the tone and allows the vocals to pop.

[@EdsMusic]

This is an amazing one to get the best settings on reverb! thanks for the good tips

[@daveaufradern6658]

Again, very good information in an easy to understand, compact video !

[@hymgotsauce]

i really enjoyed this video and immediately felt the difference in my vocals

this information is pure gold

[@nayandas6814]

Thank you so much for the formula. Nobody tells about this. You are really providing value to us through your videos. Big thanks brother

[@sidehustlefilms8007]

This is the best video on KZbin on this topic. Thumbs up to you Jerry. Thank you.

[@RVDIO9]

Best explanation I’ve seen so far for determining decay and pre-delay time

[@philswann2885]

Luckily I use Valhalla Vintage Verb so this video was perfect for me. Up to now I have just used reverb on the same channel as my vocals but this video really explains the advantage of having a separate reverb channel. I will now adjust the Decay and Predelay now like you have shown. Thank you so much!

[@ampent4204]

Excellent tutorial, I consider myself seasoned and went by ear and used buses, but this had me writing notes😊 thanks for the spreading knowledge!

[@brycemorrismusic]

I was mixing my new tag and was having trouble with the decay in the reverb (same reverb you used in this video). This video was very helpful. Thank you ‼️👌🏾🔥

[@fresh-dmiziki08]

Wow 😯 thank you bro 😎 I just learned an important lesson

[@jusfireproductions]

Great great video. Took me back to school. Explained really well in detail. Super dope video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, Jerry! You made it all very clear!👍🏻😊🌞🙏🏼

[@radioxpert]

Thank you, Nicely done! I think I get the general idea to use it on radio applications. I wish I was a musician but I had no clue about the meaning of notes and half notes.

[@onseanzion4363]

Yo Jerry....I've learned so much from you bro. Good lookiin'out. Peace & Blessings!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FINALLY A WELL EXPLAINED REVERB TUTORIAL one question tho you haven't talked about stereo or mono stuff what about that

[@PERELIVE]

thanks!

[@drexbeats]

man, thank you for this....appreciate it

[@levibazilio8909]

Great video!

[@djpyramid]

Can this also be done in the kirchhoff plugins? So useful this technique. Just came across the best video on vocal production by a producer named Nick Mavromatis and I realised how it’s not all about mixing. His production on vocals is just INSANE. You should the vocal production episode in particular.

[@crimson3510]

Great video Jerry!!! thank you

[@zhenmaster888]

Great tutorial... now I have a better understanding about Pre-Delay and Decay. Thank you very much. However, I have a questions... I have Behringer FX2000 unit that has pre-delay, decay, with Treble and Bass level settings. If I were to do a highpass on that, should I just lower the bass to a minus -10 to cut out all the low and treble to -4 to cut off the high freq? Thanks

[@mixwithjerry]

I’m not familiar with that unit but I’d imagine that the bass and treble controls are actually shelf curves instead of filters, but yeah you can just decrease though maybe to get less lows and highs.

[@jeffro-tull]

Really helpful, straightforward tutorial. Thanks very much. The example you chose made it really clear what each change effected in the mix. Do you generally send 100% of the vocal to the reverb channel? And is it truly a "copy" as you mentioned, or is it actually just re-routing the signal based on how much you send?

[@mixwithjerry]

Yes I usually send 100% of the vocal to the reverb and control the level of it with the volume fader… but this is only because I’m usually sending one vocal to that reverb. If I was sending multiple things to that reverb then I would have to control how much I’m sending to each one. I think of it as a true copy of the signal since I’m sending 100% of the vocal out.

[@dudukossi]

Thanks Jerry❤️

[@deandremoore5239]

Would you do anything differently with stacked background vocals? Would you add reverb to all of the stacks or no?

[@carlosdemianpaluditenor8111]

loved your video thnx!

[@GreyGori233]

Great one my guy

[@frasersuman9120]

nice tutorial 💥💥💥💥

[@Struggle6a6y]

Bro you a 🐐🔥

[@franbert6218]

I never understood why people use this equation, especially since decay time is usually displayed in seconds. I find it a lot easier to do 60 divided by bpm to get the quarter note value in seconds. It’s also useful to remember that a dotted note can also sound good on time based effects.

[@chillseason8595]

it helps me a lot!

[@streetmediaent]

You technicz will just kill me one day😂😂😂

[@MrWilloch1]

amazing. keep making vids.

[@hriddhimandas]

I see producers using two separate reverb a shorter one and a longer one what's that. I am confused about that.

[@GSSahuwalaSahuwala]

Very very very good sir

[@prodby7anaka]

Thank you for this :) is that you singing?

[@mixwithjerry]

Thanks for watching.. and yes that is me 👍🏼

[@prodby7anaka]

@@mixwithjerry you got a great voice any tips on learning to sing?

[@mixwithjerry]

@@prodby7anaka I appreciate that.. I’ve sang my whole life and feel like I’ve kinda found and developed my voice over time.. but when I record I go line by line until I get the take that I love and then I move on.. so the whole song is really a bunch of different takes pieced together

[@JDiamondMusic]

Why all the math, on super massive Valhalla they have the time based options, 1/4 ect as not just the milli seconds. Those take the math out of it right ?

[@NateK9official]

Never understood the math until I watch this video...all the rest sounded like rocket science

[@konamipls]

Thanks!

[@segzsounds1]

Dope bruh...But there's an Eq on the reverb plugin itself...

[@mixwithjerry]

Yeah most reverbs will have the low and high cuts offered, but not an option to take out any of the midrange. I wanted to give a visual representation of what I was doing with the EQ for those who may not have a reverb plugin with an EQ section on it.

you dont equalize the reverb oder sidechain it?

[@ZebSound]

​​@@mixwithjerryamn that was fast. Thank you very much! Reverb is worth a study :D. So hard to seperate the main Vocals from the backings with reverb

[@fredhcoelho]

Valhala plugin already offers built-in EQ, so I guess you didn't need to add another EQ plugin after it, right?

[@Rookslifedrillbeats]

Yeah theoretically but if you do it with a EQ plugin instead you can customise it way more

[@GraceProduction3]

If you also add a compressor, it would be epic🔥🔥trust me

[@ranoodixit7371]

But this Reverb doesn't have a dry - wet nob then how we can cancel the volume of the dry vocal which is coming from the send track?

[@mixwithjerry]

The plug-in has a mix knob that acts as a wet/dry control. Just make sure to have that on 100%.

[@ranoodixit7371]

@@mixwithjerry yeah I was just thinking that maybe the plug-in itself has that kind of think 😅

how is your bassfreq at 7880hz? mine only goes to 2000hz

[@rennubhamidipati]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@crayfish3629]

how can you apply this with live band?

[@mixwithjerry]

It would be tough to do it on the spot. I’d suggest starting with a reverb time of 1.5s and adjust it by ear as necessary for each song.

[@silvicmusic]

What if my BPM is 80?

[@tplkaraoke5934]

Reverb time: 3000ms ( 3s ) and Pre-delay: 46,8ms ( or 93,7ms depending on your preferences )

[@uweschmidt8772]

A bit too mathematical approach for my taste. At first, when you calculate your decay time like shown, then you have to include pre delay. Second the decay time doesn't represent the exact time, a reverb is hearable. It mostly depends on the type of reverb you're using. And at last, reverb is a sound shaping tool, so for me it depends on the mood of the song, the singers pronunciation etc. and not all music is quantized (at last I hope so). And not all songs should sound the same. The danger in tutorials like this is, that beginners get stuck to this method and stop trying things, that may suit the song better.

[@AutumnWhite-888]

He said just experiment and decay time is a stylistic choice. The math is a guideline and a principle :)
