i mostly find myself using only bright sounding reverbs because everything else sounds muddy to me. but maybe thats a personal preference
How do you decide whether you use a bright sounding one, warm sounding one etc tho?I only have one third-party reverb plug-in so that’s all I use (FF Pro-R). I like having only one reverb though. Cuts decision fatigue and I know one it really well.
I think it all just sort of matters on what your mixing. General principles like using reverb on higher and longer notes, not using a lot of reverb on short bassier notes. Timing the decay so the notes don't fall over each other. Adjusting the pre-delay so the track doesn't get lost in the mix. With Pro-R I focus on the decay time and pre-delay and once I have those right then I'll EQ. Then after that, I'll adjust the brightness and character knobs. I also like what Jake Jackson does with his reverbs, having two reverbs and a delay as stems for each stem. I'll also add that so many sample libraries have a good amount of room in them that short reverbs are really all you need to glue samples recorded in different spaces together. I'm not a pro mixer at all but this is what I do.How do you decide whether you use a bright sounding one, warm sounding one etc tho?
I mean, also with pro-r (which i btw also use) you have thousands of possibilities how you set it up.
Theres no right or wrong, so i simply try to collect some different approaches here on applying reverb
I like that approach. But do you set the reverb-EQ individually on each instrument? Most producers and composers seem to have 1-3 verbs in a track, used on a send, so that would be kinda impossible to do with that workflowReverbs, to me, are like instruments themselves... you often have to use EQ to shape and seat them into a mix. A reverb that's too muddy or too bright can clutter up an otherwise good mix. On every instance of reverb, I tweak just about every parameter to taste, which includes high cut-off, low cut-off, high frequency attenuation, etc.
