God I love a mentor/instructor/guru that gets to the point without all of the preamble and yammering that is so prevalent now. I love you Joe Gilder and the world needs more people like you!
😘
Amen! :)
Yes indeed. They like to hear themselves speak so they figure everyone else does too. And it sure would not hurt to skip the corny jokes either.
Everything needs reverb Joe. Everything. I can’t go to space without it.
Also wanted to add how beautiful the voice is in the recording used in this video. So refreshing to hear such a sweet voice.
Every well recorded vocals tend to sound beautiful. If u can’t achieve that, u’re doing something wrong when recording
wdym joe has an angelic voice
Another hot tip might be to sidechain the reverb channel to the vocal and let it duck outta the way while the vocal is sounding. That's definitely really helped me get a bit more clarity in some situations!
Or lengthen your pre-delay.

1. Does it even need reverb? 0:30
2. Find 3 go-to reverb sounds 2:37
3. Use sends 5:37
4. EQ the reverb 8:19
5. Add too much, then back it off 11:20

"It just makes sen-ds to use sends".... 😂😂.... love your sends of humor, Joe 😁
On top of the individual reverbs, I always use a “Master Reverb” at the End of the mixing chain.
I send all Sub-Masters (Instruments, Vocals etc. with all their effects) to a “Master Reverb” Bus with the same level and level the Bus at around -18db or less. The “Master Reverb” should only be a room (concert hall, dense room, stadium, … depends on the music you are producing) and is sent to the Master Bus (obviously). If necessary, I decrease the amount of individual reverbs a bit to avoid reverb overkill.
To me it is the easiest and most natural way to glue the Band together. It represents what would be the situation in a live environment, the whole Band in one room.
That is super helpful, thanks!
Yeah m8, nice idea, specially if you want the thing to fill like a band
Do you have the outputs of all the effects tracks routed to the "Master Reverb" as well, instead of them being routed to the default = master bus? When you say "level the bus at around -18db", does that literally mean that you don't want peaks higher than -18db on your master reverb bus? If so, why leave such a large amount of headroom? I'm learning, just being curious :-)
@@MrSlimfinger In front of the Master Bus I use three Sub-Master Buses for Vocals, Drums and Instruments (with all effects etc.).
Those buses feed the Master-Reverb Bus with post fader sends. By doing so you can place them a bit individually inside the room.
The Master Bus is fed by the three Sub-Master Buses and the Master-Reverb Bus. You can choose the amount of Master-Reverb at your favor. I personally do not want to place the band too deep inside the room, that is why my Master-Reverb is at around -18db or so. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the song and the effects prior to it.
@@Torsten08 Ah, I got it! Thanks for the explanation!
If you feel like it some day, as a complement to this video I'd love to have your take on the different functions of reverb and what varies in the approach for each. I can think of at least 3 different functions for reverb: 1) to give a certain "artistic" coloration to a sound 2) to move an instrument in the 3D space -most commonly, I guess, to push it backwards-, and 3) the "glue reverb" that is used to make tracks from different origins sound cohesive. In my view this tutorial is "how to use a hammer", but with a hammer you can build chairs, crack walnuts open, pull out nails... and the procedures are different in each case lol. Just an idea...
While am waiting download to finish am preparing to feed my musical brain,I want to say hi to jo gilder,much love from East Africa Tanzania🇹🇿
I think rules are extremely helpful for beginner to intermediate mixers. When starting out "trust your ears" was frustrating because I had no idea what a "good" anything sounded like and it's hard when you're first starting out to be able to pick out details from a specific instrument when it's buried in the mix. For me these rules videos tend to give clarity and confidence to the things I find myself reaching for so I am super grateful for the series. You're awesome Joe!
God blessyou Joe; thanks for sharing...
One of your best points around 13 minute mark : the longer the reverb, the less you add; the shorter the reverb, the more you might include in the mix. Thanks!
Comments I hear today about "new or modern" music is, "It all sounds alike". Then, when they record and do their mixes, the first thing I hear is, "I want it to sound like this band or this song". Well.....??? Joe has said this before.....listen to the song and let IT tell you what is wants.
Thanks, Joe. Your advice is always thought-provoking and useful.
7:40 "shush quiet" 😂😂 happens to me all the time. Btw, great video 🙌🏻
Thanks Joe! I always learn something I didn't know on your videos! You have been a great teacher and I am much better at recording and mixing because of you!
Always good to understand solid fundamentals. Best rule is that there is always an exception to every rule, but have a baseline first. Thanks for the great tutorial.
"...that goes on for days." Dude you're hilarious. 😂
Excellent as always. Thank you
Wow, just wow. I spent 2 hours watching your vocals videos and I can't wait to hop on a new session with these tips. Thank you so much my man.
These rules videos are the best.
You give guidelines instead of just doing a follow along so people can know how to do it on their own fr
So glad I came across your page..been watching videos for the past 2 hours learning everything I needed help with...thank you
Joe, you are great teacher. Everyone should watch this video!!!
Joe,
Thanks for the tips and sharing the design of your studio space, in a previous video.
Also, thank you very much for sharing Whitney’s and your work. I am a fan.
Thanks Joe, as always, easy to understand.
Digging your videos - straight to the point, no b.s., and levity without goofiness. Rock on! I've been exploring compression and multi-band comp on the verb returns too for even more control over the shape.
Thanks Joe. Loving your useful content and appreciate your presentation which is characteristically friendly, frank and various degrees of entertaining/funny ❤
Just because no one else adds reverb to acoustic, doesn't mean you shouldn't! In fact, I'd argue that that is exactly the reason why you should add it!
You are making a difference in people's lives with your insight and experience. Thank you very much for your contribution to the art of recording and humanity in general. Thanks mate.😁
Super helpful, thank you!
I love your talks. U r so full of experience :).
Love you joe!
Sometimes I like to send the raw ‘uncompressed’ source to reverb so you get more effect on loud parts and less on quiet parts. Sounds more like how a real room works.
I've always use send, but never thought of EQ the reverb. Amazing technique, and thank you very much for your efforts and instructions!
Love your videos! You’ve really helped my mixes a ton lately and I feel like I’m finally fully understanding the whole mixing process. Keep up the good work!
Joe- Really enjoy your teaching style and especially appreciate how consistent you are in what you say from video on to video. This method has helped me learn S1 faster than i have ever learned anything else. For example, your explanation of using Sends or EQ of reverb. This style has no doubt helped countless not only learn S1, but stay w/ it.
Also, if you‘re lucky enough to own an old spx 90 add a bit of the good old gated reverb to your snare and toms.
thank you bud !!! always exceptional content !!!!
Makes perfect sends. Thanks, Joe.
Thanks Joe for this video. Indeed the most importatn is really to side-chain/send the tracks to use reverb. First reason I begun using this was when I had a not so powerful workstatoin. But the easiness of use is another valid reason for it.
Another great video Joe. One more thing that made a huge improvement to my reverberation 😁 was adding just a touch of pre-delay to seperate the vocal from the delay.
Thanks Joe
This was very helpful! Thank you Joe! We now have a bettter way to use reverbs than before. Your send trick just made a lots of sense 👌
Great as always, Joe!
Hi Joe, Great video as usual, Thanks
Terrific tutorials. Thanks so much!
thank you so much for this one man! learned so much from it🤘🙏
Learned more about actually mixing reverb in this 1 video than hours fiddling around in FL
Good teacher
Great vid as always 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hi Joe!
This is the best reverb video that I have ever seen!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience ♥
Please make video about the violin or any bowed string instrument recording and mixing. (solo and section recording and mixing) This is always confusing for me to pick the right microphone, set the right distance, choose right room to recordings and pick the right effects on my mix.
Thank you very much ♥
Starting to get it! Been working as a musician in studios since the late 70s...(the old splice block days!). You’re helping me get a handle on digital. Thank you sooooo much! BTW, I’m using Reaper.
You'd have to admit though that there's nothing like the thrill of doing a live mix to tape, automation in a DAW has taken that away from this generation. I doubt that they could imagine making adjustments to 24 tracks in real time as you bounce tracks down, or in the final mix, rolling up and down the desk tweaking this and that like a madman!
Thank you so muchhhh!!!
This really helped❤❤❤❤
Great video, I learn something everytime.
Awesome tips man, really helpful, stay like that bro!!
Another awesome Joe video. (Hi!)
I know this is 2 years old... but came across it today and wanted to add a thought... I add a pre-reverb eq to the reverb send, so the reverb isn't getting hit with all those build-up frequencies to begin with. Essentially - EQing the signal going INTO the reverb, without touching the source's EQ.
Thanks for all you do. I've learned SO much from your vids, and still do.
Hey Mark! Always good to see your face around here. I like EQ-ing after the reverb, because sometimes reverbs add low frequencies, even if the source material doesn’t have any.
@@HomeStudioCorner - makes total sense.... BUT... one of the things I love about doing it pre is that I can cut offending frequencies that can wash through a reverb. One can have a totally innocent vocal S or SH that gets a whole life of it's own, turning Godzilla and wreaking havoc in Reverbland, but pre-EQing it out can help prevent that.
😃
All you need is the imagination of your music. where is your hero? interior(room, hall) or exterior(street, beach)?
where is the location? front? rear? left? on ground? in the sky?
1. front + ground = kick, bass
2. rear + sky = something in the sky
you can set the distance using eq, comp, reverb.
1. front
eq = full sound
comp = less
reverb = less + long ER(depends on the distance from the wall)
2. rear
eq = less low and high
comp = more(it means it can be more affected by air)
reverb = more
3. ground
eq = simillar to front but more low
comp = depends on distance
reverb = depends on distance
4. sky
eq = lowcut
comp = depends on distance
reverb = depends on distance
imaginate your music.
feel the physics inside of your music.
You are the best in the best from the best on the best
Thanks
Extremely helpful video - thanks!
You the man Joe!!!
As far as reverb for guitar goes I think it all depends on the type of acoustic guitar. That will determine if I add reverb. For example, if there is an acoustic steel-string rhythmic strumming thing going on then reverb could ruin it. However, If there is a nylon string acoustic classical piece then a slight touch of reverb will sound good. I agree that these things are personal preferences. The same thing goes for a steel string open tuning solo finger-picking composition. A little bit of reverb sounds great. I think one problem is people tend to add too much reverb to compositions like that. If there are other instruments involved then that would be the time I pull back from adding reverb. I don't like reverb on bass guitar. I almost never use it on the low end. But what do I know? no rules right?
E.Q. the reverb is good advice. It's amazing how much mud reverb can add. Lot's of good information in this video.
Perfect vid 🔥🔥
Really appreciate your skills. I have been having problems using reverb for a long time. But after watching this video, Im hearing the difference much better in my recordings. Thanks alot! Btw Joe did anyone ever tell you that your voice sounds exactly or reminds them of James Hetfield from Metallica..I find so..that's a compliment
Awesome tips!
I love my 80s new wave with reverb on the acoustic gtrs.
This helps me a lot ❤
Thank you for this video man , you just answered one of my biggest questions and it is nor related to reverb but thanks dud , POG
Your rant about usually never adding reverb to acoustic guitars made me smile, because I was just watching your latest video in which you do precisely that :) No rules indeed!
Youre vids are so helpful ty✌🏻
Dude, you're a joy to learn from!
Well, put..Great info..
Good Video Brother. I am really enjoying your channel. You have done great!
Excellent Joe. I'm guilty of adding reverb to the vocal track itself and have run into those issues. Usually this occurs when I'm excited about whats happening in the song and not taking a sip of coffee.
Thank you so much
Buddy big thanks for your time it’s appreciated...
Great Video!
Blessings
I use B Reverb 2 especially on Vocal its great.
721 thumbs up, and 5 thumbs down--one for each rule they don't follow. Coinicidence?
Keep up the work, Joe G.
Thanks for the info.
Now I know to EQ my reverb. Bless up!
Thank you!
Hey Joe, really enjoy your channel. I find it very informative. I need all the info I can get. Stay safe my friend.
I sometimes add some verb to glue my 2 bus and open up the mix a bit. Very short decay time. Or early reflections only.
thanks so much
Great video, brother. I understood better some "rules" after this. Thank you.
Good vid. I like her voice too
Great tut Joe! Could you do a 5 rules of delay? That would be awesome.
Good explanation on the “sends”
The ratings say it all. watching now!!!!!
Please, do not mistake: "Take a sip of your coffee and then pull it back down" and NOT: "take a joint and then push the reverb to the limit"! 😆🚬
Depends on genre......
Love this statement
...Presbyterians smh ...am I right?
Ummmmmm... not sure what Presbyterians have to do with it, so no not really.
Nice song man!
Really insightful! Do you have a video on how/when to use side chain or parallel compression?
I've been using the rules 2 to 5 with great success (not so much the 1st tho). One more nice thing is to A/B the mix muting the fx sends and adding pre-delay helps quite a bit.
I'm mixing hybrid but have only one multifx rack by now, (the other delay is in the vet xD), eventually tracking thru it on the way in. Then I see CLA and co. using 4 delays and 4 verbs... Wonder if I should get hold of some more unit(s)...
Thanks. I subscribed.
Hi Joe, I'm a new studio one user and would be lost without your videos! Super helpful, thanks so much. Have you done a session on the Tricomp plugin?
I find my self using delays to create reverbs, or/and using CLA Epic to feed delays into reverbs or just doing a simpler version of that with abletons Echo plugin which I really like. Could never really use that 3-send trick to create room on my mixes probably cus I was using too much. Also, this is becoming less of an issue but, it saves CPU, just wished every spacial fx plugin had a randomize button on it! I find myself thinking inside the box in this regard. Most of spacial fx can be used just fine as long as you got that mix in button and will help you create really cool textures! Also low pass and high pass it to make it "vintage" :D
Joe your videos are treasures! I've being doing some templates for my session but I'm a beginner yet, could you share some session templates that could be a start for us in terms of EQ, Comp, Rev? All the best!
Maybe it is easier to explain this with a picture. Not just the reverb but also the pan, EQ and compression of all the signals of the instruments should create a certain space where you want it to take place. With that in mind it became wayyyy easier for me to make decisions regarding the sound, the lenghth and amount of reverberation. Especially when it comes to acoustic instruments and vocals this really make sense. In electronic dance music, well, that might be a whole different story then. Sometimes - just btw - I mess around with my IR verb and load a crash or whatever sound into the plugin and see what happens. Try that too, it's fun for a rainy day.
Idk on plate reverbs, but on room reverbs i suspect that the low end that gets generated is because of the natural frequencies that the room dimensions enhaces (natural modes, it has to do with waves longitudes and stuff)
