What are your favorite delay and reverb tips?

[Bexgotthebounce]

To calculate decay time, divide 60000 by the BPM. Then either multiple or divide that by 2 to get the different lengths.

Jake, you are the man! I spent two years in college to earn a degree in recording, but I've learned just as much from your tutorials, if not more. Thanks for everything!

[NeXusZT]

I was just on a reverb mixing binge and then this shows up. The stars have aligned, clearly.

Literally answered my every question about delay and reverb thnx

[RockShowAcademy]

Great video with tons of info presented in a very understandable way. Thanks so much!

[layneinchains]

This is really, really good - thank you!

[MrNeoDotCom]

Thank you so much. I'm mixing a song right now and for the most part I use very little reverb or delay. Funny part is I use ssl native eqs for depth and I know this is the real way. I'm an emcee 1st, producer 2nd, engineer 3rd. It's the details that separate, so I appreciate.

[halyalkarfamily]

Wow! What a tutorial man!! Thanks a lot for this!

[gustavopeters]

Used your techniques the same day I watched this video! such great information.

[karolbukowski]

Thanks a lot! Could you make a video about creating depth or cohesion in the mix using reverb on other instruments such as drums, guitar, synths and etc.?

[KeyserTheRedBeard]

sweet content Musician on a Mission. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the really good work.

[Renaxelo]

So we can use the same reverb plugin for the short and long decay ? I've just known it. the chain : Short rev - Delay - Long Rev - pingpong.

[Joel_Powell]

This is SO well done - immediate ideas and results - thanks so much!
