Hi... you are so articulate and enlightening with your videos...( costing me a fortune as I expand my humble set up 🤣) .... but so inspiring .. thank you... please let us followers know if you got the gig from your previous string video ... and an update on how the ballet soundtrack is going .... thank you for taking the time to do these videos and looking forward to the new videos .
You’re very kind! Yes ballet update is coming. 40mins of music pretty much finished and ready for me to mix! I’m in the dance studio to watch a full rehearsal run this week so might capture some of that. Thanks so much for watching
I mostly mix dialogue, so I'll most often use realistic rooms and halls. Valhalla Room, Stratus and Fabfilter Pro-R2 are my preferred reverbs because they're automatable and easy to setup. In Stratus' case that simply means picking presets and making the odd modification. It's not super user friendly as R2 is. Sometimes I'll use the same settings on two reverb sends, but just use one for reflections and one of the diffuse part. I automate the sends to get different perspectives of two sources in the same room. If I was buying just one of the, it would be Valhalla Room, mostly though because I have a lot less experience with Pro-R2. I find that one dead easy to dial in. An interesting reverb you may want to check out could be Klanghelm's Tens. A free small version will give you a good idea, but it's a smashing creative reverb. Wish I got to do more with it, but dialogue does not often require such fun reverb.
Note: When opening plugins in Logic, you don’t need to go over to the eg “Stereo” submenu, just click the plugin name - it will automatically pick the suitable format for the channel the plugin is on. 👍
er....apologies if you know this already but if you click that little arrow at the bottom of the Seventh Heaven GUI then it opens a panel of useful controls like highpass/lowpass filters and.....predelay.
@@TomHarroldMusic yes way! I actually have the Pro version of this too but, in all honesty, it's not necessary. The basic version really has everything you need 90% of the time.
@@TomHarroldMusic the pro version gives you more control and more options but the basic quality of the two is the same. imho the standard version is just the best value out there. You get absolutely top quality reverb (you'd be hard pushed to tell this from the $4k hardware unit) with all the control you need (most of the time) for a stupid price. Before I go, one more thing to mention. The predelay on the 7th Heaven reverbs only affect the reverb tail, not the early reflections. You can argue whether this is good or bad (Cinematic Rooms Pro gives you the choice) but it's how the Bricasti unit does it and not many people complain about that so I guess they just copied it faithfully
@ very useful, thanks! You’re right it’s impossible to tell the difference in most cases. At least if I want to alter the early reflections then I can use Voxengo!
Perhaps! Probably difficult to really tell the difference with these very quick examples. But it’s a good point - expensive reverb /= the best reverb; it’s all down to taste and what you know works within your workflow
@@TomHarroldMusic Yes. I use Raum which is a free but very good sounding reverb. I also have Superverb which is also great. I however tweaked them to the point where I could not hear a difference between them. Sometimes I use them both in a chain to get some extra tight warm reverb if that make sense. Fabfilter reverb looks interesting because having the control to manipulate the low and high end, built in eq.
Actually, the free reverb (supermassive) has the best algorithms - no contest. The tail end trails off into the cosmos better than any reverb you will hear unless you pay 500.00 for an Empress pedal or the Black Hole pedal.

The black hole vst reverb, normally 200.00 is on sale for 50.00 "black friday" sale. the best reverb algorithms you can get in a vst imo. 😊

Very nice!
in seventh heaven there is a white triangle just below the reverb time. press it. the pre-delay and other functions are hidden there.
So I’ve since discovered! Shows how rarely I use it. Thanks so much

Old habits die hard! Thanks for watching!
@ Always fun to see how others do reverb. Thanks for the vid!

No way!!! Shows how rarely I use it 😂😂
@@TomHarroldMusic yes way! I actually have the Pro version of this too but, in all honesty, it's not necessary. The basic version really has everything you need 90% of the time.
Well that’s convinced me even more not to upgrade! And I have enough colour to choose from that the pro version won’t be game changing

Pre delay is not a good name I think. The delay comes after. Post delay is a better name?
Is it my ears or do the 400 bucks reverb sound like the 50 bucks reverb? I don't hear much difference.

@ indeed, for creative reverb it’s amongst the best!
