External EQs give more control. Like more bands, a different sound, maybe some soft saturation. Also the ability to sidechain an input or otherwise dynamically adjust the eq. Necessary? Maybe not.. depends on how far you want to go.
You're not going to get very far doing clickbait. It's unfair that on the cover of the video you attack one of the best reverbs on the market. Win by your talent.
I chose an eye-catching thumbnail to effectively share valuable information and reach a wider audience. I believe everyone who watches the video will understand that Valhalla is an excellent reverb-I use it all the time. The thumbnail was meant to attract interest. Apologies if it came across as too provocative.
The bass mult is right there on the setting you loaded in Vintage Verb. It’s right there. You’re cutting frequencies right around the spot they’re boosted by your reverb setting. EQing before and after verb is fine but I think it’s much better practice to pay attention to the initial preset you load. Lower the bass mult so that it’s actually reducing frequencies around 600-700 instead of boosting. Also you’re cutting frequencies that are already being cut by the reverb. It’s right there. -24 db at 6k. I’m not trying to be rude. But I feel like this is just going to confuse people who don’t understand these plugins that well yet.
I'm so glad I watched this. The subtle changes made such a difference. The song is so good. The adjustments to the mix made it even more enjoyable to listen to.
I think these are great techniques, many of which I regularly use. I think something helpful for newer engineers would be to provide the perspective of before and after with soloing the reverb. Though you always want to understand the sound in context, some of these especially subtle characteristics will really stand out when soloed. Thank you again!
Thank you for the comment! Yes, indeed, some aspects of sound are quite subtle, and it’s not always easy for a beginner to pick up on them. I was thinking about this too-demonstrating these things in solo is also necessary, and perhaps using more exaggerated settings would help, even if we use lower values in actual work.
@@stevesheroan4131 haha, yeah. I'm an audio engineer/producer/etc among other things. In addition to running an apprenticeship program for young engineers, we also do a monthly listening session where producers and engineers can bring in mixes and productions for a supportive peer and "pro" review.

@@RomanStyxStudio I see where you're coming from with regards to flexibility. I'm always having to minimize resources and work quickly in sessions... Using 3 plugs to do one's job would be a huge reason for disqualification for me. For the Valhalla series, they're usually good to get a great sound really quickly. The functionality is through the roof with different models.
@literallykevin if you eq before reverb, like you should anyway, you don't have to adjust the high and low cut in valhalla. You should always eq before adding effects anyway so you're not unintentionally enhancing unwanted/resonant frequencies.
But what about using a reverb with eq settings build in? Like Ableton has a native reverb where you can actually set the eq settings that will affect the reverb. So you don't have to apply another eq on it.
Starts the video saying don't use this preset, then uses the same preset for every example... also, you don't need to split into lows and highs. You can control low tails by decreasing the lower damping modifier.
Those Kush plugins are a bit of a well kept secret, nice to see TWK get a mention! Good tutorial, really clear. Not sure why there are so many rude comments here, keep it up dude.
Predelay and ducking can be used together, creating a very effective combination. When the reverb delays slightly, the attack of each note comes through without overlapping with the reverb signal itself. Additionally, the reverb separates from the main sound, making it clearer. Ducking lowers the reverb volume during moments of active vocal presence, which works well to clear up the mix-especially when the reverb is large and dense. This approach is perfect for tracks where the vocals need to soar. For smaller room reverbs, however, ducking isn’t necessary.
No, it means you can place an EQ plugin before your reverb plugin on the return track. This means the equalization will only affect the signal going into the reverb, not the main vocal sound.
@@RomanStyxStudioYou can setup an aux track for the vocal to send to. Setup fx for the aux track: EQ, then Reverb, then EQ. Adjust the output of the aux track to taste.
It is just the usual ridiculous, immature rantings of low character, insecure people who hide behind their anonymity to crap on everyone else’ hard work in an attempt to make themselves feel superior. Welcome to the internet.
Hm, I'm listening all your manipulations...maybe I'm deaf, but I hear no big difference or very shallow ones. It seems that mix already was strongly processed. So maybe better is to not touch anything? :)
You're absolutely right! For demonstration purposes, I should indeed choose more exaggerated examples to make the differences more noticeable. However, the techniques themselves are effective and valuable-they just might be harder to perceive when applied subtly 😊
sounds like you just turned the vocal up in the mix... a better way to achieve this is to have 2 vocal tracks, a dry track, and a soaking wet track. remove all masterbus inserts. if you want reverb or eq on a track, put it on that track, and not the masterbus. then mix to analog betamax-hifi tape with it barely clipping, and then transfer it back to digital, that's how to get your "saturation".
Statistics shows that this video has a 94.2% like rate, suggesting that viewers find the information useful. I hope that’s true, as my goal is to provide something valuable and helpful.
Dont get it. So you dont use Reverbs in single tracks like fe, bongos, hats etc, and you just „cut the track“ in 2 or 3 parts, and put FX like Reverb only in those 2-3 parts?
Judging professionals by the equipment they use, people by their race or orientation, or films by their cover reveals nothing but your own shallow understanding. Greatness is not defined by the tools, appearances, or stereotypes-it’s defined by skill, character, and depth. If your judgment stops at the surface, perhaps it’s time to look inward and ask what that says about you.
"You use high and low cut by default pre eq" Mate, do you realize that its really instrument dependent? Like you treat cymbals the same as vocals as a bright shiny acoustic,...? Dont do it
The sound of an instrument can have as much brightness as desired, but excessive brightness in the reverb often sounds unpleasant and interferes with the primary instrument's tone. Of course, you should always listen carefully to what you're doing. I'm not writing a constitution here; I'm providing various tools and techniques that help achieve excellent sound quality. You can choose to use them or not.
@RomanStyxStudio mate I have to repsectfully disagree here (hope first com didnt seem rude) Especially point out that it lies heavily in the nature of the reverb. And in ambience, people are often even chasing the high end in glimmering verbs - especually for plate. I think modulating the verb helps a lot here. As well as for stuff like pianos, strings, brass And I have to point out that especially the mid freqs can be extremely problematic in verbs especially short room where it builds boxy resonance. Again, respectfully, not meaning to be rude
@@marcusstrymon693 thanks for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate the time you took to comment-it’s always great to have a discussion about different techniques. I agree with you that the nature of the reverb and the intended artistic outcome play a huge role. Bright, shimmering reverbs like plates or certain ambiences can absolutely benefit from emphasizing the high end, especially for creating that glimmering texture on instruments like strings, brass, or even vocals. However, the context of the video was more about cleaning up the mix and ensuring that reverb supports rather than dominates the main elements. Techniques like high-end attenuation (before or after the reverb) are aimed at maintaining clarity, especially when dealing with dense arrangements or busy mixes. For brighter styles, modulating the reverb or using multiband processing, as I demonstrated, can keep that high-end sparkle without letting it overpower. You’re spot on about the midrange being a trouble area, particularly in shorter room reverbs where boxy resonances can build up. That’s why I highlighted EQ adjustments both pre- and post-reverb-it’s a critical step to avoid those problematic frequencies from stacking up. At the end of the day, it’s all about adaptability and intent. Some mixes call for a clean, controlled approach, while others thrive on lush, shimmering tails. Thanks again for your input-it’s conversations like these that make audio engineering so fascinating and collaborative. Cheers! 🎛

Placing EQ before or after digital reverb doesn't make difference. You can check it with inverted signal. So it's not necessary to place EQ before Valhalla reverb.
Are you mental? We've been EQ'ng sends and returns in studios since EQ was invented. If we're EQ'ing overall, and not just say early reflections, it's a hell of a lot easier to use a handy EQ like Fabfilter rather than use the internal EQ of almost all reverbs. Some Reverb plugs do have extensive EQ controls, but most of the time it's just easier and faster to EQ the send or return depending on what you're trying to achieve.
@@stephenfleming8030 I repeat again. I checked if there is a difference to set EQ before or after a digital reverb(using inverted signal technique) and the result is silence. Means there is no difference to place EQ before or after a digital verb(with convolution is the same). The difference might be for certain cases like if a reverb is saturated of modded a lot. But it's like going into field of placing reverb before or after saturation/mod. Check by yourself if you know how to set it up.
@@bixenter I've been an audio engineer for 35 years. Eq'ng send and/or return has always been the way to work, rather than menu diving on a hardware unit or plugin. De-essing reverbs, again either on send or returns, is also par for the course and often the only way to smooth out a slightly sibilant vocal with the artefacts associated with heavily de-essing the vocal itself.
Meh.. pretty sure that reverb plugin has low and high filtering built in. Why not use that? And the title of your video is quite deceptive. But hey, I guess you're an "expert"?
the built in eq has a fixed 6db per octave slope, which is great if you want it to sound like the way reverb does in nature, not so great for a dense mix like i often have when I want low mids but need the low end out of it totally so I like a more drastic roll off, my music doesn't sound natural anyway so it doesn't bother me. but yeah, the title sucks
it has a built in post-eq but tailoring your pre-eq can affect to overall tail/shape of the reverb. for example imagine putting reverb on a drum track and eqing the kickbass AFTER the reverb compared to equing out the low end going in
@ that is a great point i didnt think to mention, although sometimes I use this to my advantage like when slapping lots of reverb on a chord/synth stack, I'll eq the extreme highs off with a steep cut then slap a mb comp on and compress the highs to make the reverb suck up between the notes, really makes it so much bigger. I do realise this is a niche thing and probably not applicable to 90 percent of the people that will read this but I'll be happy if it helps 1 person 😂
Sure, you can use the built-in filters-nobody’s stopping you. They’re definitely handy when you’re creating presets or need a quick solution, but let’s be honest-most built-in EQs in reverb plugins are pretty basic and lack the detail you get with a dedicated EQ. As for the 'deceptive' title-my apologies if it didn’t meet your expectations. Clearly, I’m not as much of an 'expert' as you are. Thanks for the comment, though!!
Interesting your giving production advice whilst using a stereo vocal, maybe record your vocal in mono then it may give the impression you actually know what your talking about, I can guarantee you abbey road didn’t use a stereo vocal.
Stereo vocals are actually super common in modern production. Whether it’s mono-to-stereo processing, separate left/right/center tracks, or just a stereo export for convenience, there are plenty of valid approaches. I work with a lot of vocalists, and some send stereo tracks even if recorded in mono-it’s no big deal. The real point here is how tools like sidechain compression or Soothe 2 can clean up the center if your vocal is mono, or work in stereo if your vocal is wide. But if your main takeaway is that Abbey Road used mono vocals, it sounds like you’ve missed the bigger picture. And about the 'impression you actually know what you’re talking about'-classic! 😉 I guess modern techniques just don’t stack up to the Abbey Road handbook. Appreciate the critique, though!
@@sibagibawell either it worked and you maybe learnt some new tricks to add nuance or it didn't work and you commented and left without watching. Personally I took away some ideas to use with hardware to improve the mix, so it was worth a watch.

So you mean playing the music in a space (a room, hall or cave or whatever) and then recording the reverberations with a microphone? That would be a real reverb instead of an artificial one correct.
Dude, VintageVerb has the EQ built in, just do it there. You're over complicating this.

@@WBradleyRobbins kinda overkill if u ask me, but what works, works
Immediately thought that too
The issue is that all presets default to zero EQ, so you need to reapply it dozens of times when you wanna browse through Vintage verb presets
why use an eq before the reverb if the reverb already has low & hi pass?

I can't get through 30 seconds of this video because of all the annoying swoosh and bam sound effects. Now THAT'S amateur, boss.

Yes, it seems my video editor decided to showcase all their skills.))) Well, this is the first video on the channel; we’ll take your feedback into account going forward.
No problem here... that's just the modern way to do.
