Yes it was a bit tricky, but thanks for the clarification!

So, can I do this: FX channel with one room reverb (mostly with the Early Reflections on and Late Reflections turned down + Hall Reverb with a medium long tail)? Both reverbs fully wet and then send my instrument signals to that FX channel?

Synths, a lot. Shakers, solo strings which sound too mono, that kind of stuff. Rarely on well recorded libraries. I just usually put one on the brass bus though because it makes brass sound and wider than the strings.

Got ya. Never thought of putting it of putting it on brass though, I may give that a try! Thanks for explaining the early harmonics - even though, I do use this trick, I didn't have the understanding of what exactly was happening with the reflections. Very well explained!

There you go!

Yw :) Check it it improves the space. You won't want them to sound smaller too. If they have no space to begin with it can help to put ER before a longer verb, in series.

@ ok thanks a lot for the reply, will start applying this technique, it's a very advanced approach to using reverb. Thanks

Hey, patcher is just a way to route plugins in various ways. What you see is that it does. I only have a gain plugin afterwards to compensate for the slightly loudness change it does. My method is just putting that ER verb on the channel as an insert and then sending it to a hall, so they're in series. About haas, yes very much so, you need to be careful and check in mono every time. It's like a "double haas" kind of since there's two echoes but still. If it was a bit longer it would be called a stereo slap

Hey ! Glad you liked it :) In general I start around 2 seconds and fine tune from there. It's really by ear in the end, because every plugin will sound more or less wet, even at the same decay time.

Awesome. I’ll give that a try. Thanks so much!

You're right, decca tree = further away = more of the ER = much better way to add more depth to a signal that's unnaturally close than just blindly pushing a hall reverb. Room reverb before hall = Decca tree simulator. Well not exactly but close. The point is, you're getting rid of some of the super sharpest high end, and direct "close characteristics" of the instruments, and adding these delays. Simply reverbing a super close mic a lot with a hall doesn't work as well and you will end up with a crazy tail without the depth you want, and that's why. In some situations, simulating a room is needed to get a more realistic sound before actually putting it in the hall. We don't naturally have our ears against the instruments when going to a concert hall.

@ Seems legit! So you would agree that using e.g. a tree mic *and* hall reverb afterwards is not a bad thing at all, in many cases even better than putting everything to close settings in the library and only make up with it using artificial hall reverb. Great to know!

​@@BluemountScore As usual it depends. Your decca could be in a really small room and not really give a good enough width and sense of space with the hall reverb alone. In that case feel free to experiment with another room in between. There is no wrong. The concept of a multi mic setup itself isn't technically "realistic", as if we had as many ears as there are mics.. it doesn't make sense but generally gives the best sonic representation of recorded instruments. So yeah, whatever sounds best :)

Hey :) Yes that would work, That's the idea, ER's add another layer of depth. It's just delays.

Cool! Thanks for the reply! So I’d put both verbs on the same bus as well? With pre or post fader?

Thanks :) That's FL Studio
