Vocal Reverb | Live Vocal Mixing | Live Vocal Effects Tutorial

Показать описание

Vocal reverb can really make the singers on your worship team happy. Today, you're going to learn how to simplify the options , so you can take your reverb to the next level... without drowning your vocals.

Music in this episode is "For I Was Far" by Anna Blanc. Check out the full song!

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to mix live vocals with reverb. Vocal reverb is a big part of getting a polished mix, but with so many options with using vocal effects live, the range of parameters can get overwhelming. I'll demonstrate how to use live vocal effects in a way that enhances your vocal mix, without drawing attention to the reverb, and making it feel like your vocals are part of the band, not just layered on top.

I'll show you how I set up my reverb for live sound, how I pick my reverb time, what pre-delay does, how to set your reverb levels to avoid drowning your vocals, and how you can add EQ to your reverb send to get a super-clean reverb that adds just the right amount of space to your live vocals.

I work with sound in multiple contexts: live sound for church, for church live stream, live sound for a cover band (while playing keys/singing), and for recording/production with my own songs. Your methodology/approach in your videos has made things clear which I've wondered about for years. I've certainly seen people apply them, but rather than just giving narrow tips, you give clear and simple explanations/rationale for why you do them, which removes the arbitrary nature of so much advice and helps it "stick." You clearly have a depth of experience and expertise along with a gift for teaching to make complicated concepts simple. Of course, your sense of humor rocks. Thank you, James!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate the time and humor you put into your teaching and video presentation. I’ve been in live sound for about 25 years and had become jaded to the process. I made a change in my thought process and you have really helped me in that journey. Looking forward to more videos to come. Thanks for serving the Kingdom

Great job on this video! I have been in studios for 40 years and never seen anyone explain so much correctly in such a short time!

I use similar EQ on reverb... but always put it after the reverb plugin... 🙄 Dying to try it the other way round :) Thanks !

Very helpful with the settings you show to have a starting space

Do you have a social media platform where you mentor people in Sound Engineering or at least a group where Sound Engineers can apply what they learn from you, post their works for people to listen and help to analyse? I think that would also help a lot too you know.

This video has been really helpful I started mixing at my church fairly recently and just got into messing around with our reverb settings I don’t know too much about reverb for vocals because most of my mixing experiences from football broadcasts where he won basically zero on everything and you’ve really helped me bring our services to the next level
