Your videos are so straightforward and succinct where so many producers are just verbose and preachy, I had to double check I wasn’t watching in 1.25x speed because usually by a minute in I’m just like “get to the point” but here it’s a healthy mix of relatable but educational shop talk keep up the good work
For people who like to side chain duck their reverb there is another tip I love. The new waves studiorack update lets you load 3rd party vsts and inside you studiorack you can internally sidechain to the input of studiorack which eliminates the need to sidechain to the lead vocal track.
Great stuff here. Quick and simple explanations and includes the one thing I always find missing in tutorials. The WHY we would do these things. Awesome.
Thank You I learnt a very huge thing about reverb. It really changed the sound of my reverb . I was very disappointed with my reverb's sound but now I know how to make it sound right or atleast better than before. Thank you again.
Your timing seems to often coincide with exactly what I need,so much cool stuff,so much to learn,only starting out but,you are an invaluable tool,thanks.
Hi Thanks a Lot Nathan, I have been trying to learn this to Enhance my Vocals Quality but I don't know how to. Your Video has the Precise info and More for What I've been looking for Loved it. Cheers
Always Love from India.....u Know its very very very helpful for those who are really dedicated to sound engineering and also artist like me who don't find good mix engineer at initial level of career....Thank You and Love.....🖤
Thanks, Nathan. Subbed. I'm a tad unclear, however ... Using your method, the buss contains the reverb followed by the compressor, correct? Not before?
You don’t have to ‘read’ the track if you’re just manually drawing the automation curve anyway - read is for when you’re manipulating a variable in real-time as the track is playing so that it captures your input and automates it on future playback. Unless I’ve misunderstood why you did that?
love these tricks :) thanks you Nathan, i just have a question, did you keep your reverb and delay bus in mono? i always make my fx bus in stereo, its a mystake?
Actually nothing new for me here, but it's a really good explanation and summary of this knowledge, so anyway I wanna thank you for your work and I'm sure it helps a lot of people! :D
Question: why do you control the amount of reverb using the volume fader on the send? Why not adjust the amount of signal you're sending to the send? I can't be the only one who does it that way. I mean, if you load a bunch of Logic presets you'll see that amount of signal on the sends are all at different levels. So clearly, Logic thinks people like to use their sends that way. Is there a good reason to do it your way? It it because the plugins respond differently if you feed them more signal? I also find my method easier when it comes time to automate the amount of an effect.
Hi James, great video. Is there an alternate way to add side chain compression to reverb on a bus if you don’t have a reverb plugin with a side chain option? None of my AU or 3rd party plugins Have a side chain option.
So what's the difference between leveling your reverb with the fader vs the bus's send knob thing? Great tips and video production by the way! Already subscribed!
Just very recently discovered you and I’m glad that I did, you seem so filled with knowledge about logic Pro. The problem is you always sound like you’re in such a hurry. Slow down and perhaps explain a little bit more how you are doing things. If somebody’s interested in listening to your tutorial they’re going to listen to it if it’s two minutes long or 10 minutes long!
The way I do the reverb bus is pretty much same, the difference is just rather than balancing the blend with reverb bus volume fader, I do it with the send gain, because sometimes I want to automate the blend and leave reverb bus fader for when I need to adjust general blend, are I'm doing it wrong? Are it will affect the result in the bad way?
I obviously use busses for effects. But i find it very anoying when i bounce out stems. Logic does not include the busses. I have to create a track for every buss that that chanell runs through and then bounce the busses out as separate tracks with only effects. But... then i might run into another problem. If many chanells use the same bus. They will bleed into the effects aswell. That makes me shy away from using busses. And only use them when i need to sidechain an effect or something like that. Am i just beeing an idiot? :) Maby this is the same in every DAW, and i just need to learn to live with it. Or is it just in Logic that one has this issue?
Reverb is the sound of the space in the room. Delay is the reflections off the walls or echo - like when you shout outside and get an echo of that sound back.
Might wanna go relook at that video - it was "stop watching mixing tutorials" in which I clearly articulate a point I won't remake in a comment - but in short - I said in that video that I am NOT against mixing tutorials but that many are putting the cart before the horse by prioritizing learning mixing over producing not that watching mixing tutorials is actually bad. 🙄
@@NathanJamesLarsen Watching from Cape Town, South Africa . I also watched that video and I totally got what you were saying 😎. Thanks for the great work Nathan
Now do it with plucks, pads, drums, synths and bass stabs that are all begging for a verb and cohesion... smfh, once again im in the same damn problem... a mix is more than 1 element
Hope you got a TON of value from this - if you want a structured approach to production you can watch my free Production Roadmap Workshop here: www.produceracceleratorcourse.com/YTWorkshop
@@NathanJamesLarsen @Zian Because I am one of those in the demographic whose learning and stumbled across this and I am very grateful. Thank you very much, keep showing tried and true techniques. Would love to hear the track when finished, please share a link, the snippets sound incredible!

reverb on the bus go round and round

I had no idea about sidechain compressing the reverb with the vocal. That makes a lot of sense.
Yep - works like magic.
About to use this right now!
The thing I don't like about side chaining in Logic is trying to find the track in the side chain list. A lot of times it isn't even on the list.
Lot’s of reverb videos, this is the best I’ve seen in years 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really appreciate you Nathan for sharing your wisdom! Your an awesome teacher with in-depth explanations!
You got it, Justin! Thanks!
Brilliant lesson man. I will be integrating all of these tips. Thank you!
Thank You I learnt a very huge thing about reverb. It really changed the sound of my reverb .
I was very disappointed with my reverb's sound but now I know how to make it sound right or atleast better than before. Thank you again.
Absolutely amazing lesson! Have wanted this for ages! Please do more of these pro lessons especially for delay!
Your timing seems to often coincide with exactly what I need,so much cool stuff,so much to learn,only starting out but,you are an invaluable tool,thanks.
I was literally just gonna say this. Killer video with so much great advise, the automation on reverb, brilliant.
Good one Nathan
Thanks Bjorn! Good to see ya here
That super VHS chorus effect on the reverb was HOT

Thanks for that. Good tips.
You Deserve Much More Brother.....
this was a great tutorial thank you
LOVE THIS. Thanks for these walk-throughs!
I love that side chain trick in #2. Thanks for the valuable tips!
Hey Nathan. Many thanks. Im happy that you explain such kind of tricks in a high detail...
Yet another great video.
Great channel. All you videos are really helpful and easy to comprehend.Thx
Great video. I’d love to see an equivalent video for reverb and drums.
Reverb in mono on the bus ? Is there a reason ? Thank you
Your an awesome teacher !
PLEASE do MORE of this at 0:07 its so funny LOL
Always Love from India.....u Know its very very very helpful for those who are really dedicated to sound engineering and also artist like me who don't find good mix engineer at initial level of career....Thank You and Love.....🖤
maaannnn your tutorias are AMAZIIIIINGGGGGG !!!!!! so simple and informative
Thanks, Nathan. Subbed.

Good stuff Nathan! VERY creative tips here. Thank you!
Sure thing!
Great tips!
That song is really fantastic! Great job.:)
Why make the reverbs mono??
Love your content, always golden value
Thanks! DOing my best over here to help ya'll!
what is the plugging you use on your main channel? i am looking to Smooth O... but cannot guess it hehehe Many thanks. Lovely Tutorial
ty brother😁😁😁
I love reverb a lot
Super cool trick I can see that you've got the presonus R series as monitor I was looking to buy it could tell me why you liked them ??
Really awesome tips! Question: do you do these in the production stage or the mixing stage?
Any reason why compression would be better than just using predelay?
Nice!
Great tips and great track!!!
Game changer
You don’t have to ‘read’ the track if you’re just manually drawing the automation curve anyway - read is for when you’re manipulating a variable in real-time as the track is playing so that it captures your input and automates it on future playback. Unless I’ve misunderstood why you did that?
Read is simple a "save" button. I always set to read because if you adjust ANYthing with it still on Latch it will automate it.
What did you do at 7:50
I see you copied that part for a double
Did you use heavy saturation ?
That was definitely the coolest thing in this video !
Great job!!
Thanks bro. Always 🔥
Appreciate it!
love these tricks :) thanks you Nathan, i just have a question, did you keep your reverb and delay bus in mono? i always make my fx bus in stereo, its a mystake?
Raum is a dope plug-in. Fa sho
Great reverb tips. The shaky handheld camera is distracting though! Your videos looked great before.
Actually nothing new for me here, but it's a really good explanation and summary of this knowledge, so anyway I wanna thank you for your work and I'm sure it helps a lot of people! :D
I just learned how to use busses, what side chaining is, and how to effectively use compression in 3 minutes. Seriously…
Even once you understand how to use soft soft, having the ear to make a good soft is a whole different story
Question: why do you control the amount of reverb using the volume fader on the send? Why not adjust the amount of signal you're sending to the send? I can't be the only one who does it that way.

Is there a good reason to do it your way? It it because the plugins respond differently if you feed them more signal?
I also find my method easier when it comes time to automate the amount of an effect.
Just about personal preference. Not sure why that'd be easier to automate but again personal preference. It does not make a difference in the sound

It's essentially the same outcome

Did you add a camera sway? Did you have someone film or did you use a certain software for it?
Have a cameraman
@@NathanJamesLarsen certainly retains interest throughout the sections in which you use it, good choice
Im sorry, but I disagree. That distracted me multiple times during the video. Great content anyway, thanks.
you made a batman reverb out of me 😇
That's the difference of having a great producer behind the tracks! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

What is the difference between Reverb & Delay?
Reverb is the sound of the space in the room. Delay is the reflections off the walls or echo - like when you shout outside and get an echo of that sound back.
Ok thanks alot and my Question is what we need to put 1st when RAW voice need to mixing delay, Reverb, Echo??

Hey, Nathan Larsen! --- Yea - remember back when you put up that video "STOP WATCHING RUclips TUTORIALS"? Goal achieved!
Might wanna go relook at that video - it was "stop watching mixing tutorials" in which I clearly articulate a point I won't remake in a comment - but in short - I said in that video that I am NOT against mixing tutorials but that many are putting the cart before the horse by prioritizing learning mixing over producing not that watching mixing tutorials is actually bad. 🙄

Might be time for a new hat 🥲
Too soon. Too soon.
I always feel I can't learn production. I don't know why.
I always feel like I can’t run but I got two legs
@@andrewalarcon818 POM
That whole bus thing is just because logic lacks a wet/dry knob on fx
I was talking about the first chapter the following tips then makes sense in a more general way
Now do it with plucks, pads, drums, synths and bass stabs that are all begging for a verb and cohesion... smfh, once again im in the same damn problem... a mix is more than 1 element
🌚🖤🎶
Is this a mixing tip or a production tip?
Both.
@@NathanJamesLarsen thanks.
why do you have so many subs but no real views
What are you talking about? I just posted this video like 10 minutes ago lol.
I have many, many videos with 100k+ views
I think you're confusing this channel with a more generic type of RUclips channel. Music production is more niche and slower to get views.
143k subs isn't much in terms of getting a bunch of views within a few minutes of posting the video.
@@NathanJamesLarsen My bad mate. Keep up the hard work

Not useful, you are telling the techniques people taught on youtube in 2016. Please try to give real secrets. Something new.
Just because you saw some of these on someone else's video doesn't mean it's not useful to others. Just a thought.
@@NathanJamesLarsen they can also go and see on those channels. Please do something different.
Same techniques are told by in the mix channel, busy works beats and many more. Why are you copy and pasting the content?
