    I think it would be a cool idea for you to do a video on just sends. Different ways to use them etc. it could end up being a full series

    @@joeymusic 10 out of 10 want this video. Also would love a video explaining where plugins should go for various tricks. The track? A bus? A send? Should I reverb the track and the send to a parallel reverb? Should I even be doing parallel reverbs?? So many questions I don't know the answer to!

    I don’t even use sends, I make separate tracks for shit.. tbh I don’t really understand the concept too well. Obv I know what a send is supposed to do, but I’m not sure how to correctly do it in pro tools. The one time I’ve tried it didn’t exactly work correctly. Idk what I did wrong, but learning sends have been in the back of my mind A LOT lately.

    Great vid! I feel like reverb is often overlooked, not in terms of underused, like as you said, slapping it on the end of an fx chain and calling it a day. There's a ton of untapped creative potential for a lot of us in it!

    Very cool stuff Miami. Typically I’m using fabfilter’s reverb and am able to do some of those steps inside just that one plug-in. But adding chorus and shimmer on top of the reverb is pretty cool. Haven’t thought to do that. Definitely will be playing around with it now.

    Most of the time I prefer cutting some ’air’ from reverb, not boosting it. Makes the dry signal cut through while reverb acts more in that 1k area. Widening seemed like a cool tip! It might sound less metallic if the widener is before the reverb in the bus, just a thought!

    One thing creators like this don’t do, and I really wish they would, is songwriting 101. Bc I’ve worked briefly with Andrew wade and a few others and there are similarities in writing that industry producers know and do when it comes to song writing that your every day bedroom producer wouldn’t know, bc they’ve never made hits. I guess what I’m getting at is, can you do a video about lyrical structure, song writing and track development from a writing standpoint instead of a production one. what makes some producers better writers than others. What are your tips and tricks for writing bangers in a productive time frame? I’m sorry if my comment is confusing. I just want to be the best songwriter I can be. I know it comes with practice but I feel like there has to be some kind of theory to it that separates pros from joes.

    Actualy i barely touch my main reverb and delay (at least on vocals), most of the times I change some eq settings on them and automate them. That's how Itreat them. But that's just on some types. I use experimental reverbs most of the time on boring stuff ore to create ear candy: I love shimmer on acoustic guitars, piano and synths. Lately I've been using room reverbs a lot, especialy Room404 from Analog Obsession (+ Pixelator on reverb for dull synths)

    Double like! I'm hip to sending to another track and basic EQ moves but I learned that I'm a bit conservative with my high end. Love the chorus and width ideas, cant wait to give it a try. As always, many thanks and I will check out Joey's video detailing the different types of verb. Cheers! btw- I liked the spring reverb best until you put the vocal in the mix. Cloud sounded amazing in the mix

    I high and low pass the reverb and call it a day. Will give this process a go and see what happens. I like really lush wet sounding tracks but can never get the reverb audible without it swamping everything and sounding muddy. Actually, the more I learn and practice mixing, the more I think it's a better idea to get a professional to mix my stuff for me. 😅

    I never have looked at reverbs from a 'creative' point of view as I normally use them for front to back positioning and getting instruments in the 'same space'. But this is cool. The most I do is EQ the reverb bus with a HPF and a High Shelf. I probably would have stopped after the second step. That cloud mode sounds etheral!
