Beautiful teaching. It permits to feel how a lot of little details can change a whole track.

Great demonstration of the differences engineers use reverb as they get better at their craft. 👍
For myself, I found out very quickly, through trial and much error, that reverb needed a dedicated FX channel with audio sent from the dry. It's far easier to control. And yes, a big portion of the reason to send it is to handle reverb as it's own "instrument".
I knew it also needed EQ, cliche I know, but similar to the Abbey Road reverb EQ trick, roll off lows and highs. Mine are rolled about 400-600 Hz and 10-12 kHz. I float between 6 or 12 dB octave slopes, my goal is to roll things down not just cut them out entirely. And I prefer the EQ after the reverb to create full spectrum reverb, then roll off lows and highs.
Last is a compressor sidechain, keying on the dry vocal, to duck reverb. I really love doing this. My goal is to bring reverb up in the spaces in the vocal. If done right, it's great and automatic.
My final trick is having a delay feed 2 different reverbs on the same FX channel, plate to a hall for example.
Send, EQ, sidechain compressor ducking.
Audio tip, there's no ALWAYS in mixing or mastering.

This is so brilliantly presented. Thanks so much for explaining how to create separation in a mix. You have a great approach to the process.

Now people are gonna go "expert" even when the song doesn't call for it.

Thanks Dane 🙏

I just have to say, thanks so much for the information! This channel is exactly what I needed. So many useless tutorials aimed at people with short attention spans have left me a novice mixer after countless hours of study. You really go fearlessly into the weeds and explain the details. I'm looking forward to all the other vids. New sub here!
