What is your go-to reverb plugin and how do you like to use it? Comment below!

I REALLY love the "Valhalla Vintage Verb", just because it's amazing sound and versatility. Being able to bounce between not only reverb types, but decade types "70's, 80's, modern") is really a game changer. Also, who doesn't love the "Abbey Road Plate" and "Chamber"? It's true. They are the only reverbs I use 99.999% of the time. I LOVE your content Warren, keep it up!!

WHAT!? *deletes entire plugin catalogue*

[glennnmurphy]

That is probably the best reverb I have ever heard. It’s almost submersive

[NoahHornberger]

you can do this in ableton live by making a duplicate of each track and routing them to 'sends only', turning up the send level and adding 'Track Delay' via the input below the channel mixer (enable track delay from the view window). Then in your send you have the one reverb with everything coming to it with the various delays you have assigned. Its also good to put a compressor before the reverb to smooth it out a little for that lush smooth reverb

I did the one reverb thing and got OK results. But I didn't do separate pre-delays. THAT is the missing link! (light bulb bright)

Warren: Puts Sunset reverb on vocal recorded at Sunset again.
Me: It's happening again again.

Sounds clean no mud cos each instrument lives in its own space.

Wow, mixing stuff has entered my shorts recommendations 👀 yt has recognized that i need it

[pedrofialhodejesus-artist]

Warren, just to make it clear: you're not referring to the pre-delay parameter on a digital reverb, are you? You're adding different echo to the source signals before sending them to the common reverb to make it sound like the early reflections of the room are arriving at different times, thus implying different distances from the observer inside the same room. It seems that good, old trick got a bit lost in translation to our modern era of plugin digital reverbs. Cheers.

I really love this style . I always used to admire the music from the 70s and 80s . The same room
reverb always gave it a very exciting and mood lifting feeling . Very good stuff

[ErikZmusic]

Before plug-ins people only owned one or a few reverbs, so this was actually not just common, but the ONLY way to mix. God I feel old.

[marijandesin]

I'm afraid this one needs a revision.
Most of the people here didn't understand how you pulled it off.
Myself included

[markdanielmusic]

Wow I love this effect and way of using reverb now. It really brings everything together in such a beautiful cohesive way. Love it!

[freddiekay]

Wow, the fullness it brings.. I will definitely keep this in mind!

[BassByTheBay]

Finally... a technique which I've actually done before! Usually, I watch your tips and just think, "I have no idea what I'm doing." 😄

[dustinphillips]

Love love love it!! In my template and standard I/O, I typically just have a single instrument verb and single vox verb. of course, there are times I use more, quite frequently actually... but I force myself to start with ONE. Big fan of H Verb, Abbey Road Plates, or Valhalla Supermassive.

I've got a collection of guitar spring tanks (big, small, 2 spring, 3spring) hooked up to a headphone amp (aux to HA in -HA out to spring tank in-, spring tank out to Instrument input on interface) I can put any tank left and right ad it sounds that doesn't work I take the good old cheap lexicon plate

[onlyrick]

Makes perfect sense to me. For most of the time I've been recording I only had one reverb. Gonna try that trick with the pre-delay, though. Thanks again.

[davemac]

I've commented something similar on other PLAP videos about this. Being old skool myself and only having one hardware reverb back then, I had no other choice so most elements shared the same reverb thru a hardware mixer. Today I still automatically use just one reverb that's shared by most separate elements, although now I typically have 3 identical reverbs with different pre-delays each in their own send.

Unless I'm mistaken, this glues everything together despite compression, bussing and any other 'glueing' techniques used. Like you say Warren.. everything's in the same room.
