What You DIDN‘T Know About Reverb

FREE Guide - Learn how to finish at least one great-sounding song per month: pickyourself.com/framework
In this video, you’ll discover how to mix with reverb by choosing the right kind of algorithmic or convolution reverb and dialing in the perfect settings every time. My name is Philip from Pick Yourself, and I’ve created this channel to help electronic music producers like you make meaningful progress with their music.
Whether you’re producing Techno, House, or EDM, understanding the differences between algorithmic and convolution reverbs is crucial. In this music production tutorial, I’ll explain the pros and cons of each type of reverb and how to choose the right one for your track.
We’ll also dive into the different types of reverb such as plate, spring, hall, and chamber reverbs and explore how to use reverb parameters like pre-delay and room size to create depth in your mix. Whether you’re using Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, or FL Studio as your DAW, this reverb tutorial will help you master the art of mixing with reverb.
Remember, there is no better or worse when it comes to algorithmic and convolution reverbs. It often comes down to preference and genre. The most important thing is to understand all relevant reverb parameters and how they psychoacoustically influence our perception of depth. So join me in this tutorial and let’s take a deep dive into the world of reverb!

Excellent demo on reverbs. I'm dialing in my own Frankenstein delay into 2 reverbs on a send within Studio One. I've got first a Melda MDelayMB, MB is multiband, which I think I made mine a low, mid, high frequency delay, with a little bit in the lows but center focused, ping-pong on mid and high, then a second tap afterwards. It then goes into the Relab LX480 Essentials Reverb as a vocal plate. (I did the demo of LX480 Complete wow but not yet says the budget) Third stop is Melda MReverbMB as a 4 band hall. Lows are cut about 3 dB while the other 3 higher bands are boosted slightly. Forth stop is Melda MEqualizer for high and low pass on the entire audio for the send. I liked the sound I got by sending delays and reverb full spectrum and EQ after. Last is Melda MCompressor with a sidechain off the dry signal to duck the delay reverb and focus on tails to fill in the quiet. It sounds like a Frankenstein horror, but it's got a character I couldn't find. Crazy is this isn't the Melda top of class Turbo Reverb. Bottom line this kind of thing is fun to me.

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Nice chain, sounds like a really good match :) im a big fan of of ping pong/ tapped delays into reverbs 💯

[@djvoid1]

I know all the settings and all the types and I STILL struggle. I have to take it really slow and experiment a lot to get mine right. It's a vibe at the end of the day and vibes are about feeling, not practicalities. Sometimes you roll toward something that "makes sense", sometimes you have to try something rando

[@pickyourselfofficial]

True!

[@DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579]

Here's how I learn the functions, first temporarily solo and add a big boost to your effect making it obnoxiously, horribly, obvious and out front, modify whatever you're trying to get an understanding handle on (damping, pre-delay, etc. as examples) very drastically, attempt an A B comparison. Pinpoint what changed, then edit the control to a more reasonable setting, and then pull down the boosted output. Don't forget to try the effect within the whole mix as well as the solo setting. With reverb, you can mix in other effects like delay, EQ, compression, sidechain duck, all the above like I'm doing. I think delay and reverb are better as effects bus sends as well. I myself will not know what this knob, that slider, or the other switch does until I move it. I can gain theory on how and why to set it this way or that via KZbin, but what it does comes by the mad scientist edit. Bottom line, it's your mix, so if it's sounding good to you, it's good. No matter what have fun. Fini. And good luck.

Great video once again 👍. What’s the best way to have the reverb affect the tail of the sample but not the main sound of the sample? So the sound is dry until the end when the reverb affects the tail. Using the pre-delay knob or automate the dry/wet knob so is only affects the end of the sample? I’m using the standard Ableton reverb 👍

[@pickyourselfofficial]

No, in this case you have to automate the send and only send signal into the reverb from the point of the sample that you want to be effected. This way, the beginning stays dry. I hope that helps :)

[@kafkakos3618]

What’s a good (free ish?) lush verb plugin now a day? I been trying to milk plug-ins that come w Logic Pro for too long and need to graduate outta there. Or build a tank as plug-ins are just such a weird thing that’s happened to music.

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Valhalla Supermassive 👌🏻

[@DrBuffaloBalls]

Variety Of Sound recently released EpicCLOUDS. It's a really great free reverb, lush is precisely the word for it.

No love for Valhalla? :)

A real plate verb? I would MAKE space for that shit.
