Great video! I scored 5/8. You just got my subscription. I would be interested in more of these ear training tests, as well as more compression ear training tests. I've been engineering audio for over a decade and still struggle working through some of the nuances. There are endless videos on how to produce, but few on how to listen. These tests... you're doing good work here. Looking forward to more material to help sharpen my skillset.
This was great, thanks. I've always just scrolled through reverbs (all of them cheap) and never really knew what I should be listening for. This really helped me open my ears and not click aimlessly.
IMO, it would have been preferable to apply the different reverbs to the same sound in order to work out the differences. I still don't know what is what.
Thank you so much for this -- my biggest issue is training my ear for mixing and mastering. I'm great with hearing pitch and rhythm -- I arrange music and I am skilled at melodic/harmonic dictation, but mixing is a new frontier. You've helped me a ton with this video. I hope you make more ear training videos. I got 7 out of 8 correct the first try. Nevertheless, reverb is just the beginning. I still have a long way to go before I can create a great mix.
it seems to be a popular demand! I will revisit yes. more reverb? or which test specifically would you like to see more of? Thanks for watching, Marcos!
More reverb. I'm interested in studying reverb on hip hop and pop r & B all genres. My goal is to listen to a song and reverse engineer it and be able to replicate the reverb used.
I think another good video idea would be to learn how to identify reverb in a real room! Like how to listen for reflections and tail whenever you are in real life, cause for me that is so hard haha
Wow. Just looking to understand reverb basics. Guessed the last 5 & got them all correct. Great teaching ! You made the content easy to understand. Thank you & look forward to more !
What about chamber? Chamber/hall/room confuse me like "aren't they all just different names for an indoor space aka room?". Plate and spring are totally different technologies for creating the reverb. Maybe I need another test with wetter reverbs. In some I was just happy to pick up on the diff between dry and wet, let alone trying to identify the reverb type, lol
Chambers are usually rooms designed specifically for reverb. Some have a trapezoid shape, others are tiled like a bathroom or pool. One of the studios I interned at was in an old sports club. They converted one of the tiles sauna/shower rooms into a reverb chamber. lots of early reflections. The Room setting typically refers to a square room with equal sides and a low ceiling. iirc Thanks for your comment! I'm gonna do more on reverb. anything in particular you'd like me to include?? let me know :)
I was working for a painting company and they were painting the inside of a big church.One of the workers brought his boom box and was playin AC/DC's Hells Bells at full volume and it sounded AWESOME as hell !Now thats a religious experience for ya!
Reverbs and delays are really hard for me to use, in some way or another they always make my hardworked mix a complete mess in a matter of seconds. Yet both are basicaly the FX I like to use the most, maybe because of the nostalgia factor of the 80s and 90s.
heavymetalmixer I was in that same boat. The key, for me, is listening on different speakers to mixes as I do it so I can see how washed out they sound to find a common ground. In my experience, it always helps for me to cut down the Reverb level itself and then cut back on the decay as needed. I feel like decay can stand to be a little long if the Reverb is just enough to be present.
Let is more, reverb should be something that u notice is missing when u mute it, not something you actively notice. Also try sidechaining reverbs/delays to duck the dry signal. And try eq'out out the lows and highs to make the effects less muddy and thinner so they add space to the mix without taking up too much space in the mix. Send very little (if any) low frequencies to reverb...for example on drums give your snare plenty but your kick just a touch
@@mistybaylock Gotchu! Heres a Frequency Ear Training quiz that comes out tomorrow morning (Saturday) ua-cam.com/video/d5nI-_8ucbw/v-deo.html Thanks for your suggestion!
all the reverbs that are used here are digital :) analog hall or room reverb is when you are in this exact environment, there are no analog reverb pedals except for the spring one but they're pretty rare aswell.
That was an interesting challenge. I feel pretty good it...I got them all. I play guitar and sing...but I really listen to all music really carefully. Even if I don't particularly like it...I'll focus my listening on some aspect of the production.
That's a great approach, there's always something new to learn from a song. I find once I learn something in a song, I enjoy it a lot more. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome. I only started playing electric guitar very recently, and until about a week ago, I didn't even know what a reverb pedal was. I got 3 of these right. I like to think that's not too shabby for a total noob. :-) "Broken Glasses" is a killer song, btw.

The Hall reverb song was so beautiful. I was so sad searching for it on UA-cam and not being able to find it
IMO, it would have been preferable to apply the different reverbs to the same sound in order to work out the differences. I still don't know what is what.
This guy on the video should distinguish the concept of reverb vs. echo because he doesn't seem to understand the difference.

thanks for reaching out! what do you feel is your biggest challenge when mixing?
I got like 2 right. Can you do another one of these?

Awesome! Thank you so much, Joe! Keep going!
Fun video! If you really wanna throw them a curve ball try... giant room, small bright hall, dark small plate, etc ;)
noted ;)
I already struck out, lol
Love the Stone Sour riff!
I had a perfect score going and then I got a few right. 😅
It helped when i noticed the reverb/dry msg in the corner. 🥺
Whoa, glad I found this channel. Thanks for adding "psychoacoustic" to my vocab. Subscribed.
best intro theme music in the game
Great video!

maybe you could talk about convolution reverbs vs other types of digital reverb modeling?
i got all right!!!
I was working for a painting company and they were painting the inside of a big church.One of the workers brought his boom box and was playin AC/DC's Hells Bells at full volume and it sounded AWESOME as hell !Now thats a religious experience for ya!
I got spring reverb right on the first try and obviously hall on the organ. That’s it.
Super helpful, thanks!!
I barely noticed the plate reverb on the drums. it was only in the vocals that I felt some change
Any thoughts on best reverb for rock organ? Seems like it would have differences than church
You could try a Spring reverb! That would be common in electric organs used in rock or jazz.

Agreed, less is definitely more with effects I find..
I haven't experimented too much with other modulation effects yet.

What’s the song on question 4?
thank u for this video!
my pleasure :D
What is *r e v e r b*
I got all except last one.
hello i did this with my class and we did p good
right on! any thing else you'd like to see?
Thanks for watching.
@@LearnAudioEngineering would love more ear training quizes!

What about digital reverb??

@@dwz234 I mean digital non linear style ofc! these are all modelling "real" analog reverbs...
I got all of them right
legend!

me: awww..
he he
Only 2😢

Got 7 out of 8. #5 tripped me up and I thought it was a Spring cuz I'm dumb.
Spring reverb
This is awesome. I only started playing electric guitar very recently, and until about a week ago, I didn't even know what a reverb pedal was. I got 3 of these right. I like to think that's not too shabby for a total noob. :-) "Broken Glasses" is a killer song, btw.
Keep going. I hope everything has been going well It's a climb but its worth it.
Glad you enjoyed the song!
Plate
wow . i got all of them wrong
so did I 😬
I got 3 right lol.
ipta
got all of them tight 😘
Well done! thanks for watching
OK.....where is Les Paul and the CHAMBERS at Capitol Records.....talking ROOM & HALL
Would have been nice to show ONE time the dry signal and than keeping the wet signal. This is extremely irritating!
