This video is awesome!!! I also have valhalla vintage verb. I've never thought about using it as a delay. Also, it was neat how you reversed the reverb before the vocal. I did that on a song 10 years ago, but there were so many steps. I basically taught myself how to do that. It's a neat effect.

Great content. I'm having an issue with my Valhalla vv not showing up in my DAW. I use LUNA. So checking everyone's library of info these days I went to YT and I stumbled upon this and it just so happens the last couple days I've been trying to figure out how to do the reverse verb lead in. Now I know . Thanks again. Love that site for Delay and Verb times also. Glad I watched. Those vocals sound great . Curious what mic you used . I just purchased a Mojave MA-300 . My days of EQing mid range out of my voice is over. Couldn't be happier with it. Gonna subscribe I'm sure you have some more Audio knowledge I can't soak up. Nice work.

The tutorial is amazing. Im roughly 1 month into music production and some things that are probably being considered the normal standard are just not common knowledge for me yet. I see a lot of tutorials on specific things but to see how a hit song is mixed from the very beginning to the very end would be the best thing ever. You are producing the kind of music im into aswell and the Vocals were already pretty dreamy mixed before you added the reverb. Would you maybe be able to do such a video even if it probably would take a lot of hours.:)

Best reverb tutorial I've ever seen.. Did you turn the two reverbs mono when you duplicated them or are they both stereo still?

@samsmyers

Thanks! Do you mean when I panned one left and one right? I don't think there is an option to make the reverb "mono" on the valhalla plugin, but yea if you are using two reverbs and panning one to the left channel and one to the right, you can use two mono reverbs.

Nice video man. Is your go to reverb on vocals usually a plate reverb or would you ever mix the plate reverb in with a room reverb or hall reverb? Thanks!

@samsmyers

3 жыл бұрын

I like to do either a plate or a hall. Sometimes both! If I do both sometimes I will sidechain the hall verb so it ducks under the vocal and doesn't clutter it up too much.

great information, question how dd you route the clean vocal Channel to the panned copies of reverb L+R

@samsmyers

3 жыл бұрын

Each time you create a new chain in in audio effects rack it duplicates the input. Since I have 1 chain with nothing on it, that serves as the clean signal, then when I create a new chain, that clean signal is duplicated, so I add 100% reverb on that new chain and then blend it in with the clean chain.

Good Clip! reverb is used a lot, even on the new style of music Future Rave!

Great tutorial ! I’ve just got the demo for Valhalla vintage and am trying it out, I got a couple of questions tho. would you still use delay if your gonna use the Valhalla plugin cause it looks like it has both? And I use fl so when using Valhalla as a send do I turn the bus knob too 100% or use my ear ? Just subbed

@samsmyers

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! 1) Yes I would still use delay. I don't think the valhalla vintage plugin has a delay -- or at least I don't know about it 2) When using the valhalla as a send, you want to set your "Mix" knob on the Valhalla Vintage verb to 100%. I don't know about the bus knob but if that is the send amount in fl studio then you don't need that to be 100%.

@benjiwby

3 жыл бұрын

Sam Smyers I’m not an FL whiz but it’s basically a bus knob that appears underneath once you make a send channel so the signal from the vocals to the reverb send. I usually go with ear and put it around 70 so I’ll just keep doing that thank you:)

Wow.. what a reverb tutorial.. i was just wondering if panning reverb left and right.. will it not introduce comb filtering in some cases? Also while using two different reverb flavor, does it not confuse and destroy the space that i intend to create for the track? Thank u :)

@samsmyers

3 жыл бұрын

thanks! always check your mix in mono to see how it sounds. You can also use a correlation meter to check the phase. Im not sure about the space question -- try various types of reverb (plate, hall, chamber) and see if they work

Thanks for this Sam, really interesting! I'm having trouble finding out how to bring the chained reverb down in volume apart from bringing it down like you do at 3.50, can you automate the volume of the reverb if it's two chains on one track? As your face box is on the top right it covers what tracks you are selecting for automation and I can't seem to find the volume of the reverb, just 'audio rack Valhalla reverb mix'

If you use macro mapping, you can map one of the macros to control the volume of two of the reverb chains, and then automate that macro knob. I have a video on macro mapping that you can check out if that is what you are trying to do?
