A thing which could be mentioned and something I always do is to put a 100% wet reverb or echo on a parallel bus and mix it ever so slightly in. This mimics the dry/wet effect but you are able to EQ and even compress reverb or chain other effects. It' s pretty nice to have reverb without low end frequencies and there is much more free space in room for your original sound source.

Glad to see you giving Cinematic Rooms some love. I did not know about it until relatively recently and never was satisfied with the usual entry-point suspects (Valhalla, Spaces, etc.). It looks like CR is going to be my go-to one, at least for some time now, for it seems incredibly clear and quite beautiful in the way it produces reflections etc. I have not yet found any other reverb coming close to it at that price point. I also love MIR, but that is a bit out of my price range for now.

C'mon Guy??? Not as much of even a honorable mention of the reverbs that comes FREE in Cubase. Revelation and my personal favorite Reverence are algo and convo verbs respectively and they sound just as great as most you have to pay for. In Reverence you can import your own impulses and have all sorts of fun, including making the impulse lonnger and manipulate it in many ways. You are of course planning to make a separate video about the bundled reverbs of Cubase, am I right? Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D Speaking of honorable mentions in Cubase reverbs we can't overlook RoomWorks and setting it to max "efficiency" and turning the whole thing into a lo-fi wonderland no-go zone for proper reverbs and delays. Only in Cubase!

One more important usage of reverb is spatial placement (front to back) of instruments, and then of course there's the nuclear option for convolution reverb for orchestral music: Vienna MIR. It does reverb and spatial instrument placement at the same time, so if you have decently dry samples you can set up your orchestra seating however you want with minimal effort. To be fair many people don't need that and will be happy with standard seatings and never try to re-pan their libraries. But if you are like me and really want that German seating then MIR is just so much easier than fiddling with panners and reverbs to get everything sitting correctly left to right and front to back.

Thanks a lot for this video, Guy. The stuff about busses and diffusion was very illuminating. Although you said that some of these plugins were expensive, I wasn't expecting some of them to cost well over $600... I think I'll probably just stick to my DAW's default reverb plugin, ha ha. (Or whatever reverb effects the VST instruments I'm using have.)

Melda Productions has a wonderful multi-band convolution reverb - a limited free version and a $60 full version. It lets you sculpt the Impulse Response and you can record your own IR in the plugin load an IR file in several audio formats. Like most of Melda's effects, the amount of control you get in the full version is amazing - probably overwhelming for beginners.

That's the first time, I'm bewildered by one of your videos, because my experiences with convolution and algorithmic reverb is the opposite. I have some algorithmic reverb plugins, a small number of which can overload my CPU with a small buffer size, while I can use as many convolution reverb plugins in any session.

Thank you Guy, really useful content. I've been trying to work out the theory of using two reverbs for a while for my orchestral compositions. So, I'm going to try what you mentioned with the convolution reverb for placing the instrument in the room and then, couple with the algorithmic for the washy wonders. I assume for orchestral compositions, you use the same setup across all instruments so that they all sound like they're in the same place?

The one case I can think of where you wouldn't want a bus reverb would be the aforementioned surround case. Imagine a conductor in the middle of an orchestra or large choir - the sound from each instrument or voice follows a very different path to get to each ear (and those paths are what reverb simulates). But that's an extremely niche use case and, if you really need it, you'll probably be looking at doing a bunch of freezing/individual rendering to get it to work. Besides those phasing issues.
@Livingstone1138
@Livingstone1138 3 жыл бұрын
Another honorable mention would be Virtual Sound Stage in my opinion, especially for orchestral tracks. It gives you a convolution verb which is automatically sidechained on bus for all the instances chosen, and takes care of the positioning of each instrument on a stage. Helped my mixing a lot in many cases.

There's a video called "Sounds inside a nuclear power plant cooling tower" where you can hear reverb in action in a pretty cool way. The tower is so big that your brain has enough time to count each early reflection for about a second, then they start to overlap and turn into the reverb tail. You even notice the pre-delay and the bit of phasing due to the position of the camera.

When it comes using something like Altiverb over spitfire libraires that already have a room and verb, is it then not necessary? What about if I want to combine it with other piano or synth libraries? You mentioned using convolution reverb first to put everything in a space, but then I would have less editing of the early/late reflections per instrument group because convolution reverbs are actual samples? Would I need to duplicate each instance of Multiverb for each instrument group, one for early and the other for late reflections?

I've never worked out how to use the send/buss reverb when bouncing stems or individual tracks for later mixing. If I bounced each stem or track individually along with the output from the reverb send channel, and then mix them together afterwards, is it the same as bouncing each one dry and then mixing together after with them all going through the reverb channel at the same time? Or does the reverb need to be used only once.

My question is: If I want to use different libraries for different orchestral sections (CineSamples for percussion, Spitfire for strings, and EWQL for winds, for example) within the same piece, is it best practice to use the "dry" option on everything, and then run them all through a single bus with reverb, or will using the built in reverbs together work?

Reverb is placement in space. Delays are echos. Reverb pushes things back. Delay adds extension to the sound (without moving the source backwards). Reverb makes bigger. Delays can bring focus.

Thanks for this Guy, one of the things I have to keep mentioning to students who love to bus their reverb is to not send un -eq'd signals (especially live drums). Do you have a preference for how many tracks you would send to each reverb bus? (In orchestration) do you do it by section?

I have 2 reverbs for each stem - 1 convo and 1 algo so I have 5 or 6 stems and therefore 12 reverbs,. BUT.... if Im doing drumns or whatever thats almost always a separate reverb

My understanding is that convolution reverbs are created using a sample of the reflections in an actual space from an impulse sound, e.g. a starter pistol, not a frequency sweep as you described.

Would you not advise putting a reverb on the master track?
