hey folks
i want to start this thread to share some tipps about how to eq an reverb.
the reason is, i'm still not happy with my reverberation.
i figured out, when i use a reverb over the bassline (carefully) it works very well when i highpass the reveb so the lows won't be touch by the reverb.
but how is it with the other elements like hihatz/percussions/leads/pads etc, in wich frequency range work the reveb good, and where shuld i cut (also i tought about boosting some regions but i think i can ruin very much if it is not perfectly right booste)?

I normally hi-pass the signals before they are going into my send reverb, and layer the reverbs a bit by taking out some of the highs from the longer-tailed send-reverbs. If you place an eq after a reverb, it can sometimes sound bad because of phase-changes. |

hehe, I always EQ after the verb - or better yet, use a verb with EQ in the feedback chain itself.
I always cut out some tops too, as it makes it sound less like you've recorded it in the bathroom.

I often use peak EQ after reverb on the frequency where the clean signal is most prominent. Especially with percussions. If the snare has a peak @ 200 Hz I cut reverb on that spot from -0.5 to -3 dB... depending on the rest of the mix. If I use lot of reverbs i often cut them on low end.
I've tried few times even to sidechain dry kick or snare with it's reverb. Attack and release times on compressor can make interesting results.
Also I like to filter reverb by routing midi velocity to cutoff. It works great on snares and other percs. if you like artificial percussions and spacing.
Bottom line, I EQ reverbs more often than not.

Another thing to try out is to pan the snare a bit to one side, and it's reverb a bit to the other side of the stereo image. This prevents masking and opens up your mix. |
