GUYS PRO TIP take your track bpm and divide it by 60000 and that’s your decay time if it’s too large divide it by two and you can keep dividing it by two to your liking this will make your reverb on time and very clean hope this helps !

@@fernandoschmid2458 lets say you want to add reverb to a track and the mix knob goes from 0 to 100. Start turning the knob until you think it’s too much, lets say that 60 is too much, then take 30% of that which is 20. So you put it on 20 and you’re good. There can be exceptions but this a golden rule if you want to make a good sounding track. Remember when you made something and a day later you find out it sounds like shit? That’s most likely because you went too far with EQ, effects etc.
First video I saw that made me actually fully understand Reverb. I would always just use presets but thanks to this I’m going to be more confident in using reverb from scratch
This is a great tutorial. Getting my reverb settings right has always been one of my biggest challenges. Especially after having major eardrum reconstruction on my right ear. Thank you very much. The RVerb is my favorite reverb plugin, and I learned a ton from watching this.
@@Nomasiac i kinda feel like when it comes to mixing songs that comes out of stereo systems....(not live performance or freestyles) idc what genre you do, country classical indie rap rock you name it...reverb is something so fundamental to the sound that it can make it or break it, i feel like mixing is 90% reverb and 10% everything else. i could be wrong i'm new to mixing, i'm a rapper for awhile and haven't recorded untill 2020 because i just practice my instrumentals read my flows untill it's perfect but untill i started learn to mix in 2020 my style has changed big time and COMPLETELY fell in love with audio engineering and know so much within less then a year, mixing is WAY more fun then rapping, you CANNOT have vibes and sounds like that when ur rapping or singing live with a mic....NEVER i'm extremely detailed and lyrical so it's a pain in the ass tryna have the best lyrics but mixing gives a me a fuckin dopamine rush now. Thank god i have been practicing lyrical skills for years, now that i can mix like this and really want to learn more audio engineering i feel super UNTOUCHABLE as a artist
Great Video. Had one question still though.... where does Reverb "Density" come in? I have a rc-600 and it refers to Reverb Density (1 - 9) setting. Thanks!!
7:04 - I think you got the low frequency absorption/dampening text backwards/reversed. Unless I'm just not understanding. For the high frequency labeled moments, pushing the band up leads to less absorption while pushing it down leads to more absorption, but according to the text labels the opposite is true for the low frequency spectrum. But when you push the high frequency band up, I hear more high frequencies, while when you push the low band up, I hear more low frequencies. So is the functionality reversed here? More low frequency dampening = more audible low frequencies in the reverb, more high frequency dampening = less audible high frequencies in the reverb; if I take this video strictly at face value that's the message I get from this part, but I'm pretty sure the labels for the low frequency dampening part are just mixed up in the video here.
Wrestling a bit with the point on modulation. In this example, the modulation effect sounds like a phaser/flanger, particularly when in isolation. In the real world, I have not noticed sound moving around like that.
I think in 7:05, this is wrong! The damping chart says "More LOW frequency Absorption". In my opinion, it should be "Less LOW frequency Absorption" which means a "bigger amount of LOW FREQUENCY reflections"! Please confirm me it's a mistake from Waves otherwise I am completely lost LOL
Can I ask? Using waves on presonus studio one 5 and I want to know if I have to have one bus on the. Lead vocals an put all my plug ins there? Question number two is do I send delay and reverb from the bus or the track (as in do I put insert of delay and reverb on the bus) or i put it on the vocal inserts?
Spend some time using just early reflections. Take an old mix, and redo all the reverbs with just early reflections and see where it gets you! You’d be surprised how thick and deep you can get your mix. Also, early reflections is a great “widener” trick. Try putting early reflections on your dry lead vocal, with the R-Reverb mono/stereo component, and you’ll notice the vocal suddenly becomes huge and stereo without any weird effect artifacts.
You gotta learn the rules and why they are in place before you can go on without them. Like knowing what the steering wheel does before you can go on an impromptu road trip.
I love music, we all do but when someone is talking over it, it becomes a bit of a distraction and eliminates the whole purpose of why we're here for!!

Yes! When in doubt, lock your reverb and comrpessor timing to the bpm. Some people laugh about it but hey, it is the best starting point!

The best tip i have ever gotten about twisting knobs:
30% of “too much” is enough.
Could ya please elaborate?

Great video. Straight to the point and highly informative. Great job, Dan Cooper & the team at @Waves Audio.
Actually so helpful! (from someone who's obsessed with reverb, but also loves using a preset haha)
Damn you look good!
i'm obsessed with reverbs too

Super tutorial, used REVs for decades, but this tutorial clearly compares every feature. Thank you!
Reverb is one of my least fave parts of mixing but this made me understand the basics a lot better 👍🏼👍🏼
Agreed, getting the perfect reverb is a freaking job
completely the opposite for me, reverb is the BEST and MAIN part of the mixing

"High - eeee" . . . please.
Nice, concise presentation. Thanks.
Very precise, well exampled and to the point. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Dan from Waves.
wish I could like this twice. great work thank you!

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
First time commenting on RUclips.. this was worth watching..I have a full understanding on what I used to contemplate about..Bless u Sir.❤
ohhh my goshhhh thank you... this is what I'm really looking for years
Good explanation!
Feel like that Abbey Road filter trick will definitely open up quite a bit of room in my mixes.
Thank you!
Thankyousomuch this just changed my reverb usage prospective in some manner :')
Excellent! Thanks for watching
Thank You
needed this video. thank you.
You’re more than welcome, thanks for watching
Absolutely amazing! I did know how to use a reverb, but this brought it to a new level! :)
Now “I stepped up to the plate, I’ve tried to demonstrate” gon be in my head 😭😭😭.
An apt lyric for a video demonstration 😂
eyyy "hearing the wet signal but my vocals never decay".
Great job thanks Dan
Excellent tutorial
Dropping pure gemssss!!💯
Such a nice guide. Thanks so much
my gandma was so inspried by dan's haircut
you are the best on youtube fr fr
This tutorial is as near perfect as I could imagine. Shame I can't like it twice.
This guy is great. Good job!!
Sounds gorgeous.
Wonderful video Dan! Thank you so much!
Thanks Alexey. Keep up the great work yourself, your videos are excellent my friend.
If someone could do a video explaining the parameters of the multi-stomp reverbs...that'd be cool.
GREAT! Thanks!
Super super helpful!
lets goo 💯⚡️⚡️
Nice one Dan
Love this
Thanks
Great video.
Great Video. Had one question still though.... where does Reverb "Density" come in? I have a rc-600 and it refers to Reverb Density (1 - 9) setting. Thanks!!

‘Usually in the FORM of chorus’. The example in this section was intensionally broad
phasers and flangers ARE modulation effects. Modulation is the umbrella term for that group of effects.
hola me llamo martin supreme desde guinea Ecuatorial, me ha gustado la explicación Gracias!
I think in 7:05, this is wrong! The damping chart says "More LOW frequency Absorption". In my opinion, it should be "Less LOW frequency Absorption" which means a "bigger amount of LOW FREQUENCY reflections"!
Please confirm me it's a mistake from Waves otherwise I am completely lost LOL
1:58 Could somebody tell him where the camera is??? hahaha
Do youhave nystagmus? Does it affect your production?
Hey late viewer here! What's the difference between damping and Reverb EQ?
Damping reduces reverberation time of certain frequency range, eq reduces the overall magnitude in a frequency range
genial
Can I ask? Using waves on presonus studio one 5 and I want to know if I have to have one bus on the. Lead vocals an put all my plug ins there?
Question number two is do I send delay and reverb from the bus or the track (as in do I put insert of delay and reverb on the bus) or i put it on the vocal inserts?
should we use mono or stereo one on vocals?
The is a perfect 'estuary' accent!
Good Shit
these songs are so good lol
What is the song heard at 2:30 and who can I give all my money to get a copy of it?
🙏
Can you do this more
Stay tuned, plenty more on its way. Thanks for watching
What's the name of the song at around 3:40?
Super au pouvez vous m'aider à bien faire le mixage ?
wait why are we eq-ing before and not after?
I guess to remove certain frequencies before they get spread out through the reverb :D
cant helpp but notice how much this guys pupils are oscillating
I suffer with an eye condition called Nystagmus, that is what you are noticing
Noticed that as well. I’ve heard rapid eye movements are a sign of intelligence and that’s what I chalked it up to.
✅👍🏿
You can still use compressor to control the reverb 😌
Imagine the Music of the 80is....
without a Reverb...(":
I wish that background sound didn't drown his vocals
Idk about you but to this day I cannot actually tell if early reflection is really doing something xD
It’s where the character is. Play around with EF levels more and you’re ears will soon hear it in the effect
That’s so funny! I felt the same way for most of my music making life
bro my whole life i thought pre delay WAS early reflection lol

@@zachary963 boom! Thanks for joining in with AMAZING insight!
Gordon Ramsey home made reverb recipe.
But CLA said we should mix without rules..
These aren’t rules, more starting points to expand workflows
You gotta learn the rules and why they are in place before you can go on without them. Like knowing what the steering wheel does before you can go on an impromptu road trip.
why do you say "less HIGH frequency absorption" instead of jus saying "more reverb on high frequencies" and confuse people
I thought this kinda accent was only found in movies
I don't use reverb
Is it me, or is there a filter on his face
bro sounds like gordon ramsey
Why nine? Why not eight? or ten?
I love music, we all do but when someone is talking over it, it becomes a bit of a distraction and eliminates the whole purpose of why we're here for!!
Why is he whispering?
speaking of sound you should get your ears checked
because you have your volume down
Thank you!
