  • In this music tutorial I show the best reverb settings for mixing vocals. This will work in Pro Tools, Logic, FL Studio, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, or any other DAW. I'm using the Vahalla Vintage Verb in this video, but you can use any reverb plugin. If you're a musician, producer, or audio engineer then check out my other mixing, mastering, and beat tutorials on my channel.

    Total noob here. I have been struggling for two weeks to get the reverb set properly for the vocals on a song I've been working on. I've seen the concepts you covered in other videos and blog posts, but nothing as clear and no nonsense as your explanation. FINALLY, this vocal actually sounds pretty good. Thank you!

    great idea to make an eq pocket for the vocals, I do that with piano as it is lots of the same frequency as the vocals. Herbie Hancock said he prefers the Rhodes piano with vocals as it is pretty scooped in the tone and allows the vocals to pop.

    Luckily I use Valhalla Vintage Verb so this video was perfect for me. Up to now I have just used reverb on the same channel as my vocals but this video really explains the advantage of having a separate reverb channel. I will now adjust the Decay and Predelay now like you have shown. Thank you so much!

    Can this also be done in the kirchhoff plugins? So useful this technique. Just came across the best video on vocal production by a producer named Nick Mavromatis and I realised how it’s not all about mixing. His production on vocals is just INSANE. You should the vocal production episode in particular.

    Really helpful, straightforward tutorial. Thanks very much. The example you chose made it really clear what each change effected in the mix. Do you generally send 100% of the vocal to the reverb channel? And is it truly a "copy" as you mentioned, or is it actually just re-routing the signal based on how much you send?

    • @mixwithjerry
      @mixwithjerry  Рік тому

      Yes I usually send 100% of the vocal to the reverb and control the level of it with the volume fader… but this is only because I’m usually sending one vocal to that reverb. If I was sending multiple things to that reverb then I would have to control how much I’m sending to each one. I think of it as a true copy of the signal since I’m sending 100% of the vocal out.

    Great tutorial... now I have a better understanding about Pre-Delay and Decay. Thank you very much. However, I have a questions... I have Behringer FX2000 unit that has pre-delay, decay, with Treble and Bass level settings. If I were to do a highpass on that, should I just lower the bass to a minus -10 to cut out all the low and treble to -4 to cut off the high freq? Thanks

    • @mixwithjerry
      @mixwithjerry  2 роки тому +2

      I’m not familiar with that unit but I’d imagine that the bass and treble controls are actually shelf curves instead of filters, but yeah you can just decrease though maybe to get less lows and highs.

  • @uweschmidt8772
    @uweschmidt8772 Рік тому +16

    A bit too mathematical approach for my taste. At first, when you calculate your decay time like shown, then you have to include pre delay. Second the decay time doesn't represent the exact time, a reverb is hearable. It mostly depends on the type of reverb you're using. And at last, reverb is a sound shaping tool, so for me it depends on the mood of the song, the singers pronunciation etc. and not all music is quantized (at last I hope so). And not all songs should sound the same. The danger in tutorials like this is, that beginners get stuck to this method and stop trying things, that may suit the song better.

      Yeah most reverbs will have the low and high cuts offered, but not an option to take out any of the midrange. I wanted to give a visual representation of what I was doing with the EQ for those who may not have a reverb plugin with an EQ section on it.

      EQ (hi pass at about 80hz, small boost at 100hz, dips at 200, 500, 1000, and 4000hz to remove resonance). Compressor (6-10db of gain reduction). Pultec EQ(boosting the high end), De-Esser
