Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed this video format, what effect would you like to see me cover next?? 🤔
Great video, Will! I think it would be cool to see a video like this about distortion :)
in logic, something called exciter, not sure what it's called in ableton. how it gives more dynamic.
The best video fromat ever. I would appreciate it if you made a video for all kinds of transitions, washouts, fxs, etc.
Saturation
Maybe using delay, which often plays together with reverb?
I consider myself considerably experienced when it comes to sound design, production techniques, mixing, etc. I have watched over a thousand videos on music production, but I must say that your content is incredibly valuable. I am learning a lot of new stuff through your videos, and it will definitely be used as a beneficial implementation to my arsenal. Thank you for sharing this.
Rock on! You're welcome! 🙂
Thanks for watching and for the kind words of support 🙌🏻🙏🏻
You are an amazing teacher. You are able to explain problems that have plagued me for years in such a way where I am able to see beyond it & I am able to understand WHY I am doing it in the process. Thanks a ton for what you do dude. It’s very juicy info
You're very welcome, glad you found my videos helpful so far!
Pensado video on youtube: Abbey Road Reverb Technique - Into The Lair #128
What does he do there?
1. High Pass at 600 Hz (depends on source material, in this case it is a female vocal).
2. Low Pass at 6.65 kHz (same track)
So the difference to what you do and recommend in your video here is to also filter high frequencies.
Then Dave add Fabfilter Saturn. He stresses, that he processes the signal before it goes into the reverb (the input signal and not the output signal). I think that goes beyond what is commonly referred to as the Abby Road Reverb technique/method/trick. Typically, the Abby Road trick is High Pass at 600 Hz and Low Pass between 8 kHz and 10 kHz.
Great Video mate!
Appreciate it, Jake, thanks for watching and supporting! 🙏🏻
Can't thank you enough. You give meaning to my life. I wish I were from a country so I could buy your courses or donate or something, but my soul and energy is always with you.
Appreciate it, Brian! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂
Thank you very much for what you do, Will! Love your videos, always tons of very useful information, and your great energy and humor :)
You're welcome, glad you found my videos helpful!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
Always the best from @EDMTips !!! Keep it going, Will.
Thanks, Luis, really appreciate the support! 🙂🙌🏻
I was literally searching for Reverb Mixing tips earlier today! You read my mind! Great stuff! =)
I aim to please! Glad it was timely 🙂
I haven't been producing a year yet. but honestly stock plugins can be quite good when you learn how to use them.
I agree 100%
Lol. That tea must be good! Nice touch.
Another great video, Will. I like the tip of getting the decay length dialed in, then reducing the dry/wet to compare with the reference track.
Glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏻 Thanks as always for watching and supporting the channel 🙂
Thanks so much for these videos!
Wish I had tips like this 20+ years ago when I was starting out!
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful 🙂
we love you WILL , keep the videos coming :D :D
Thank you, I am really glad you liked it! 🙂🙌🏻
I used to put too much reverb on everything, which I never noticed until I re-listened a track much later. Now I always try to apply it in a way where I only notice it when it's gone and I haven't disappointed my future-me yet.
It’s a natural part of the process, for sure
Great content as always. Thx 🙂👍
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂🙏🏻
Great video Will. I use the side chain trick you pointed out most of the time on my Lead sounds to keep the energy in it.
Cool! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it :)
Great tips on reverb. Thank you Will. ✌️
You're welcome, glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for the information.
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful 🙌🏻
A how to use delay video would be awesome 👏
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us I’ve learned so much
One of my favorite channels 🙏
You're welcome, glad you found my videos helpful! 🙌🏻
Delay is in the works now so keep your eyes peeled 😉
Great stuff as always, Will
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! 🙂🙌🏻
Excellent informative video as always Will I learned some tricks! thanks man 👍
You’re welcome! :)
I don't usually comment on videos but this is SUCH a good video. Thank you. Love this series. Please make the one on delay!!!!!
Appreciate it, Amy! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
Delay delay delay please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Coming soon! 🙂
Huge value, thanks!!!
Stoked to hear that! Glad it was helpful!🙂🙌🏻
Thanks!! 👍🏻
You're welcome! 🙂
Thanks Will, very helpful video. 👍
You're welcome, glad you found it helpful 🙂🙌🏻
An important aspect people overlook about fx, is you are adding another channel to your mix. So all the mud between 200hz and 450hz, you may be clearing it out on your channels eq, but you now have fx tracks that are modulating and resonating in the 200hz-450hz zone, so you have a swamp area in you low mids.
Any high frequencies also get resonated in the fx, delays will ping around high end detail that rings, and verbs accentuate any high end irritations.
Treating fx channels so they do not bring in mud and harsh high end overtones, can keep a mixdown clean sounding.
Cutting reverbs at 600hz to 4000khz you can also use massive 10 second delays in a mix, that still sound clean.
Fantastic advice…totally agree and thanks for sharing!!
Will, excellent tips. I like putting a beat repeat plugin at the end of the reverb return track chain. You then get a chunky sounding reverb tail, sounds quite cool in certain scenarios.
I am glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
This ONE is the MULTIONE!!!
Thank you!
You're very welcome, glad you found it helpful 🙂
Delay is a must
It is on the cards :)
Great video! would love the same kind of video on delays.
Thanks for the suggestion! This might be my next one in this series! 🙂
very helpful and comprehensive., thank you
You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful! 🙂🙌🏻
Great video. Loving the track at 2.30ish
Cheers, Sanj, glad you liked it! 🙌🏻
Thank you brother. Yes need video on Delay I'm very confused to use delay proper
You're welcome, George, glad you found it helpful!
Delay video is coming next month :)
Your vids are soooo bloody good 😉
Cheers, glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
@@EDMTips anytime bro 😉
Probably your best episode yet! So true..with verb...less is more...allow generous tails or wash on a single item exposed in a sparse mix...hopefully you'll be at ADE and I'll be sure to say hello.
I am indeed will be there :) We are organising a meet up of the EDM Tips Academy so join in if you are a part of it!
Top notch tutorial. Thank you.
You're welcome, really glad you enjoyed it! Any point in particular you found useful?
The side chain technique and placement of reverbs according to their usage, especially. I've not been sure of my way of applying the reverb plugins, and been watching hundreds of tutorials. This is "IT" tutorial for me. Thank you. @@EDMTips 👍
Stoked to hear that! 🙌🏻
Great tips! Referencing is super important, but keep in mind that a solo section in the reference track might have exaggerated effects activated, maybe a more extreme reverb setting.
Glad you found it helpful! 🙂
Good point, thnaks for sharing! 🙌🏻
Need headphones for this video. Not much difference coming through phone speakers
Yes, you will struggle to hear the difference on your phone.
Beyond obvious when viewing mixing videos. Yikes.
Everytime again: Thank you, Will! Got my first track signed because of you and your motivational, very well made Videos! :) Cheers, EDelMann
Stoked to hear that, Dennis! Congratulations 🙌🏻🚀 Keep up the good works 🙂
yes....definitely do the delays video please
Thanks for the feedback, it is now on my list!
Keep your eyes peeled on that on and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂
Amen brother!
Appreciate it! 🙌🙏
Thanks Will , another great vid. How to fix a weak sounding instrument in mono ( but sounds fine and louder in stereo) Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great suggestion, I will add this to my list.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙂🙌🏻
I hope you make a lot of money from these videos because they are worth a lot!
Thank you, really appreciate the kind words of support! 🙌🏻
Will, useful as ever. Yes, you are right, sometimes less is more if you know how to handle reverb. It's not the case that a song will work if you just smack some reverb on it. I have to take a look at my own nose. So, those aspects are always worth watching your videos. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Brilliant Will 🙌😛
Cheers...Thanks as always for watching and supporting!
Hi Will, please, is there a video somewhere on your youtube channel of how you made the "Good Things" track? Or is it downloadable as project? Sounds really cool. Thank you
I am still working on it but I will let everyone know once we release it! :)
Hi Will, you’ve been sidecahining the vox to the kick instead of the main vocal in min 15. Thank you for this tips ;)
Recording the vocals with reverb and putting it in front is a Great idea!
Glad you liked it! 🙌🏻
I've been experimenting with overly high-passing lead vox and then putting some of the lower freqs back with short delay and pre-delayed reverb. Is that a muddy mix in the making or a cool idea?
We need a video on reverb and delay throws
Quite a specific one! I will add this to my list :)
Thx Will...👍👍👍
❤☮☯❤☮☯❤
Please Will...tell me if this has too much reverb ??? 😇

You're welcome, glad you liked it! 🙂
What do you recommend I use for ethereal guitar music, i.e dream pop? I use Eos 2. Not really into dance music.
0:59 - how do you (and many others) manage the reverb sound so wide and clear? Mine always sounds too centered and even muddy no matter what I try.
Great video! A question Will: is it a mistake to favor delays instead of reverbs on vocals in fast-paced songs? I feel reverb makes it a little bit cloudy. But maybe that's because I didn't sidechain compress the reverb to the lead vocal.
It completely depends on the length of the reverb, really. No reverb at all will most likely sound strange, unless you want a very intimate sounding vocal
@@EDMTips maybe it’s genre dependent. I make electronic influenced rock like Linkin Park and Muse, maybe it doesn’t suite this type of songs
Hey, @EDMTips 👋🏽 Please do a video on making a Nox Vahn style beat 🙏🏽
Great suggestion, Derek, I will add this to my long to-do list!
What's your favourite track of his?
@@EDMTips apprecite it! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 My favourite track is Come Together which he did with Marsh 😊
Thanks, I will check it out!
@@EDMTips 🙏🏽
Room verb for all tracks in logic? Could you advise best stock plug yo use and parameters. 😊
Try space designer. In the preset menu , go to medium reverbs, rooms, and choose sweet room. You can adjust the decay length. Sounds great!
Question re: global reverb: If every sound in the natural world has a slight amount of reverb in it, wouldn't a dry sound coming out of a speaker also then create reverb from the room it's played in? (Not including listening on airbuds)
Yes absolutely! This is why every room you listen music in sounds differently. So you kinda get this 'free reverb' on all music you make - you just don't have any control of what type of reverb it's going to be, since it's dependent on the listener's setup.
Keep in mind this reverb is usually a lot less 'reverby' than the reverbs you would add to your music deliberately - so you still 'need' to add reverb to your music despite getting this freebie auto-reverb :P
What Ricky said :)
Great video. Limiters, please.
Great suggestion, I will add this to the list :)
When using the auxiliary channel for the reverb, should your input come from individual channels or from the sub mix buses?
It depends what effect you're trying to achieve. Sometimes you might want all your percussion parts, or your synths, to sound like they were recorded in the same room, so you'd bus them to the same reverb, but other times you might want more separation. Similarly, you might have two bass layers, but you only want reverb on the higher frequencies and not on the sub-bass, so you wouldn't send the whole bass group to the reverb aux.
@@AutPen38I usually input the aux channel from a bus, but if you need the reverb in only specific tracks you can send the individual tracks
Can somebody tell me the name of the track at 6:29, please. Has it been released?
Nope, it's the one I am working on at the moment so keep your eyes peeled on the release later this year 🙂
Delay 🔥
Nice one, I will add this to my list! 🙌🏻
Loved the Franky Wah tutorial you shot, but I was wondering if you could cover how to do the speed up & slow down of synth sounds as illustrated in Franky's track "Distance Between Us" at minute 2:25 onwards? Link to track:-

Cheers Will
This is a great question to ask in the EDM Tips community or on one of our live group calls in the Accelerator :)
Yes will! Keinemusik tutorial?
Ooo, great suggestion! I will add this to my list and let's see how many people will vote for it! 🙂
What is that? I have no idea!
You 're right, it is a waste of time.
It 's barely audible in most of your examples and as far as i know.
If u can 't hear it well, remove it, its clutter.
You watched this video on your phone I imagine right?
@@fathuman nope, it 's a fact, if an effect does not make a big change or enhance your sound a lot. Don 't use it.
@@Hermit_ I watched the vid on studio monitors and heard the difference. Assuming we're talking about the room reverb trick (since the others are more obvious) it does add subtle cohesion and width to the track. Its these subtle moves here and there that add up to a pro final mix I find in my experience and would warn against discounting moves that don't "make a big change".
@@fathuman I did like the vocal one.
if it comes to the room reverb thing, it 's nice to have early reflections but as far as the actual reverb tail goes, silence it.
IN your case, it depends on what speakers you use.
