Mixing Techniques - Reverb

[arturxareb]

I like your kick sound, very natural and clean, punchy. is it a sample?

[Area593Studio]

@arturxareb Yes, it is one of the samples supplied with Ableton Live 8 Suite.

to what are you adding compression?

[mrtechno23]

u should do a tutorial on ableton's own reverb effect!:)

[Area593Studio]

@mrtechno23 I'm personally not the biggest fan of Ableton's reverb, it's one of the only Ableton effects that I rarely use.

Great videos, really helpful tips! One thing though, when you changed the reverb to the 'Drum Room' preset the Direct signal came back on.

Well spotted! That is one of the things that annoys me with True Verb.

I like how you said you could turn up the cymbals a bit after adding reverb to them.

@nblfyb It's just natural. Adding reverb to a sound pushes it further into the background, therefore bringing the volume up a bit will bring it back into the foreground.
