      To me that might be one of the things that's actually better about the stock ableton reverb than a lot of other reverbs is that you can see the envelope for the eq that you're applying

    • @quantum_ocean
      @quantum_ocean 2 дні тому

      Technicall they are rolling off at the freq you set; it's they they are rolling off at a more gentle slope (1 pole) than many of of expected. Vahalla could improve the UI by adding "1 pole" or "6 dB/oct". I'll write them make suggest that.

    A trick I learned from Andrew Scheps with verb is to eq before the verb and roll off the frequencies you don't need before the verb happens

    • @Joel_Harris
      @Joel_Harris 7 днів тому +1

      if you add eq before wouldn't the verb be able to add them back in?

    • @devinkei1469
      @devinkei1469 7 днів тому

      @Joel_Harris depends on how steep your high/low pass filter is. Eqing before makes it so your "send" signal is cleaned up for the reverb. It's a lot more transparent, sounds better with real instruments imo. I sometimes eq before and after. All depends really

    • @Dr.Awesome_DE
      @Dr.Awesome_DE 7 днів тому +1

      The correct way would be to apply the reverb first, then use the EQ to remove any unwanted frequencies, and finally place the EQ before the reverb

      This best way to EQ the verb is to place it on a send with an EQ after it. This way you can shape the EQ of just the reverb without Eqing everything else.

    I've been thinking about doing a video about the fact that SO MANY of the UA-cam music content creators don't really know jack about music and such a LOW percentage of them actually MAKE music, (let alone make music that anyone would want to listen to.) YOU on the other hand are one of the EXTREME FEW that have it ALL together. EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch one of your videos I get at least something out of it. Your vids are concise, you hit your sales pitch with MINIMAL time away from your subject, and they are interesting and sometimes even entertaining. You use of graphics and screenshots is right on - and the content is packed with pertinent information. Thank you for your videos - I've been making music for close to 50 years and am still a student learning new stuff every single day. Side note: You also look to be really taking great care of yourself too, your face looks lean and healthy. You are on the path to greatness buddy, keep going - you should have 1M followers AT LEAST! 😎😉👍🎶🎹🎛

    The explanations about the low and high cut makes a lot of sense. I usually have my reverbs on a sends and I always use an EQ on the channel. Every time I increase the low cut on the Valhalla plugin, there's still a ton of low end rumble. This is a great reminder to read user manuals.

  • @DaniCorbalanSpain

    This video is really good to see how the integrated EQs in reverbs work, not as sharp as I thought. For vocals and melodies I always put reverbs and delays in parallel, so you can control them and put your own EQs before and after the effect. This way you can also add compressors or sidechain effects just on the reverb or delay.

And then... All the stars aligned and the BIGgeZt mixgod youtube ever created slammed that feed on the frontpage. The man, the myth, the never inactive last hope saved our musical producing world once again, how does that feel?
    jks, but seriously. I have so many purple links on youtube with any valhallavintageverb guide and there is literally none, I thought that maybe you had some in the gallery but not what I've fully looked for. This is spot on, you nailed it and you are my truly inspiration

    This was a great video packed with lots of info. Thanks Z. Didn't know that valhalla only used a 6db slope for the EQ cuts. I usually put Pro-Q on before and after my reverb to remove unwanted frequences. Nothing crazy. On the way in I'll remove some of the bass and on the way out I like to give the EQ curve an M shape so the lows, highs, and the mids (where the vocal sits) all get tamed a bit to make room for more important elements. I also think another important element of the reverb is matching your timing up with your project. I find that having my reverb end just before a time amount (a beat, one bar, two bars) helps to keep clarity in the mix. I believe this is because the reverb doesn't bleed as much into the next phrase.

    Is this reverb applied as an effect or a send? I started using Reverb as a send, and it's been a big game changer for me. I set the Mix on the reverb 100% as a Send, and then I can adjust the mix of the send from the track itself. This allows for no loss of dry signal when increasing the mix of the reverb. If I were to just apply the reverb as an effect, as I increase the mix, I start to lose the dry signal, resulting in a weaker sounding track.

Also, do you eq that bus after adding the reverb? For example, do you send the dry drum signal and the wet reverb signal to your stereo out?
