Things You Need In Getting the Right Reverb for Your Mix
There are lots of reverb options and you need to choose the right one for you. First thing you need to consider would be the tempo. If you are working on a fast tempo, giving it a long reverb would make it sound cluttered. A slower song can use longer reverbs, and faster songs might need really short reverbs.
The rhythm of the vocal can dictate if the reverb you’ve chosen actually works. Large and long reverb might work exceptionally on vocals like Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Be cautious of adding too much reverb, it can be a sign of a very amateurish production.
