Verb 2. <\/strong>Mute the first reverb <\/strong>and send the snare to the second reverb. This reverb could be a stereo room<\/em>, hall<\/em>, plate<\/em> or chamber<\/em> set to a decay time between 1.5 and 4 seconds with 10ms to 20ms of predelay. Send enough snare to make this reverb loud and then turn the effect return down until you feel a long decay, but the reverb is softer than the snare. You\u2019ll find that the softer this reverb plays in the mix, the longer the decay time should be so that you hear more of the tail. Try sending different combinations of snare, toms and overheads to this reverb. Some mixers send the overheads but not the snare to this verb, while some prefer the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Viola! <\/strong>Play the drums along with both reverbs in the context of the mix. <\/strong>The long reverb should disappear in time with the beat\u2014usually an eighth- or quarter-note in length. You shouldn\u2019t even notice the short reverb until you mute it, and then the snare will lose its body.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Extra Credit: <\/strong>Insert a high-pass filter from 200 to 400 Hz after the long reverb. Also try compressing the output of the long reverb by 4 dB with a 20ms attack and 50ms release to enhance the character and density of the reverb. Some mixers only send layered snare samples to the reverb and keep the original snare dry for extra clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below are some useful starting points for a few common plugins, but try whatever reverbs you own. Any parameter not mentioned here should default settings that works well, but feel free to experiment with your own settings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, try any preset called nonlinear, ambient or small room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avid D-Verb:<\/strong> Ambient + Small setting, Decay<\/em> 280ms, HF Cut<\/em> 10 kHz, LP Filter <\/em>10 kHz. Adjust Decay<\/em> up to 500ms as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AMS rmx16 (UAD): <\/strong>Use program 8 \u201cNonlin 2,\u201d decay time <\/em>4, predelay<\/em> 0, decay filter<\/em> -4. Adjust decay time<\/em> as desired. Dear VR (Stereo):<\/strong> Use preset \u201cDrum Room 1,\u201d Size<\/em> 50, Output Format<\/em> 2.0 Stereo (2CH). Adjust Size<\/em> as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, try any preset called medium room, large room, drum room, or studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Waves H-Verb:<\/strong> Use preset \u201cBlue Plate Special,\u201d Output Echoes OFF, Adjust Reverb Time as desired, from 1.5 to 3.5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n fabfilter Pro-R: <\/strong>Use preset \u201cMellow Narrow Hall for Snare,\u201d Adjust Space<\/em> between 1.5 and 2.8 seconds and adjust Stereo Width<\/em> as desired. Set Predelay<\/em> to 15ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lexicon 224 (UAD): <\/strong>Use a drum room preset that uses Program 7 (Room A). Adjust Mid Reverb Time<\/em> to 1.8 to 3 seconds and Low Reverb Time<\/em> to below 2 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reverb on live and triggered drum tracks provides punch to close-miked drums along with a sense of space around the kit that blends the drums together. We don\u2019t necessarily want to notice the reverb, but we want to create a sense of a real space for the drums and to fill the cracks in the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":6531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_improvement_type_select":"improve_an_existing","_thumb_yes_seoaic":false,"_frame_yes_seoaic":false,"seoaic_generate_description":"","seoaic_improve_instructions_prompt":"","seoaic_rollback_content_improvement":"","seoaic_idea_thumbnail_generator":"","thumbnail_generated":false,"thumbnail_generate_prompt":"","seoaic_article_description":"","inline_featured_image":false,"seoaic_article_subtitles":[]},"categories":[81],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nShort Reverbs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
