Art and beauty comes from the fact that we have the opportunity to choose the colors we want to paint on a canvas. When it comes to making music, if one uses the same reverb on all his tracks, everything end up in the same space and every track have the same color. Some tracks need one to put the same reverb on everything. Like if one is doing a music and needs a kind of “in the room together” vibe, that would be ideal. Sometimes, on a pop record one can use different reverbs and blend them together without crowding the record. When it comes to the question of pre-delay for the reverbs, one has to note that the pre-delay is the time between early and late reflections in a sound and it can be confusing to some people because their manuals refer to only late reflections.
Key Takeaways:
- People are often confused about how to mix reverb because they are often told that using the same reverb on all tracks is wrong while others say the opposite.
- For certain types of recording, it is ideal to use similar reverbs like a vibe that wants a gelled in the room feeling.
- When the author is using many different reverbs as he does on pop records, he does a solo on the reverb returns and uses EQ to contour them.
