I didn’t know that the old video was deleted (what for a nonsense, KZbin), but imo this topic should be always refreshed. It is always remarkable for me how that little cut in the middle changes the perception of reverb, from a heard to a felt one.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it works great 😁😎. About the other video being deleted, I really should have paid some more attention myself about whether I could use those multi-tracks in my videos 😅.

[@RaveSongRecords]

Love it!! I’m always concerned with cleaning up mixes without making them to thin!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks!!

[@hansdorenstouter3813]

Great video, will help me a lot! Gonna try it right now👌

[@LanewoodStudios]

Great 👍

[@owlmuso]

Great video, thank you! I always wonder if I am cutting too much but you show that it pays to go quite radical with the hi and low cut on the eq. Cheers

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes, that EQ takes out quite a bit.

[@mansosound]

I always put it post reverb, i dont even think about it. But thanks. Groet Amsterdam

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes it’s the same except when you have a modulating reverb. Groeten!

[@ampmodclips]

dude great tut as always, just wondering have you noticed this Left or right channel audio comes through the other side when the audio is loud it's like a bleed effect even if the output is set to left or right only. I've noticed this on 3 different audio cards, It's more noticeable when the panning laws are changed. Is it an error?

[@LanewoodStudios]

I have not noticed that no. Did it start with a certain Cubase version for you?

[@ampmodclips]

no, I noticed in Cubase 12 do you get it? @@LanewoodStudios

[@ampmodclips]

I only noticed it in 12, I was like 'It's just the earphones or sound card so I had a chance to upgrade and it's the same. I'm guessing it's just me?@@LanewoodStudios

[@sidehustlefilms8007]

Thumbs up! To EQ my vocal reverb. Set my high pass filter to 12dB per octave slope at 600Hz to cut low end. Is this correct? To EQ my vocal reverb. Set my low pass filter to 12dB per octave slope at 10K to cut high end. Is this correct? And when you said mid cut, are you talking about midrange? Should i cut 2K on the midrange? A beginners question. Thanks

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes I show it exactly like that in the video.

[@redtapemusic]

I don't understand why you added an additional EQ plugin before the reverb, when the reverb you were using had its own high and low pass filters?

[@LanewoodStudios]

The idea was to put the EQ before the reverb which is usually not the case with embedded EQs. Additionally, the on board EQ only gave me two bands, so there's more flexibility when using a separate EQ.

[@kotzy210]

Hi, is this technique only for vocals? Because I find that sending the instruments to this EQ restricts the reverb itself from applying to the instruments.

[@LanewoodStudios]

I also use it on other sources myself but it may not always work.

[@kotzy210]

@@LanewoodStudios Thanks for the reply. So this technique is effective for vocals most of the time. More power on your videos. This is of great help
