i've always when mixing used the same reverb setting for everything in that song. i just adjusted the wet/dry levels for each track. i have found that not every body does this...i thought that it was like a rule to use only one setting. what do you guys do? i have found that the reverb for some instruments sounds awsome and then on the other instrument it dosn't.

FYI, reverb uses a ton of processing power, so the less reverb you have running on a PC the better.

Jun 02, 2003 05:21 pm I don't ever use reverb plug-ins. I go outside the PC to the rack for that. I usually just add a bit of reverb to the overall mix, either that or only to the drums and guitars to give them depth. But as db said, it uses a lot of processing power, which is why I use outboard.

Jun 02, 2003 08:01 pm When you have a 2.4Ghz P4, 533FSB - you can run about 10 TrueVerb plugin's and still not break a sweat :)
Upgrading my PC was the best thing I've ever done in my studio - you will thank yourself after you've done it...

Jun 02, 2003 09:42 pm yeah I've got a decent PC, loads of DDR ram... but I still use outboard compression and reverb just to be sure. Sam says "hi"
