The "Gated Reverb" technique in 4 levels of complexity

  • Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
  • Here we learn a classic sound design technique, where we add a large reverb to a sound, but only play it in short bursts. This adds the excitement of big reverb to our sound, while also staying snappy and rhythmic!

      Mate, your videos are top notch. Could I request something on Maceo Plex style robot "voice" (aka Vangelis). Maybe I should just do a 1 on 1.

    Friendly reminder that, whenever adding reverb to a very percusive sound, you might want to set the pre-delay as low as possible

    This is great. I believe a lot of the 80s sounds, it wasn't even always the snare being sent to the reverb, but a gated pink noise.

    You did a great job of explaining everything, and I love the levels of complexity! I've been making synthwave music for the last year, and the weak part has always been the drums because I relied on plugins or samples. Now I have much more control over the sound and can create my own 80s-sounding snare with gated reverb-- or use it however I like for other instruments! Thanks a bunch!

    You should have put this effect on an entire 707 or linndrum drum loop to get that instant 80s (new wave, syntpop) vibe. Would have been interesting to hear for your younger audience ;).

    Wow. Literally the very first tutorial I followed after installing Ableton and getting used to the UX. I don’t think I could have started in a better place. Drawing in sidechain effects ‘swells’ can be used for so much more than just drums and reverb.
    Thanks so much.

    Can’t wait to try using this technique and digging deeper into using gates!! Your gate tutorials have been priceless. The point about using envelopes isn’t something I’d thought to use.
    Have you considered doing a tutorial on multi-band effects processing using the effects rack? Seems like an invaluable tool that a lot of producers I know (myself included) only have a surface knowledge of i.e. multi-band compression ala the Waves C4. Apologies if you already have a video on this, I didn’t see it in your catalogue.

    Hi, nice tip! Although I rather like to use an Auxiliary for all reverbs (and no more than 2 different kind of reverbs per song) it helps gluing all sounds together..
    With the Aux you can send whatever sounds to it as gated reverb works with plucks/claps/leads etc..
    Thank you for the good work and nice videos you upload every week!
