I am using the Waves Rverb Plugin but I can find the setting that will give the strenght to the voice that most rock vocalists use, like Cornell in audioslave an such.
I cant even know if it is a hall or plate reverb.
Reverb tips are very welcome.

Oct 14, 2003 02:26 pm Basically Hall reverb is a "natural" reverb like you get in an aditorium. Plate reverb is what was used to simulate natural reverb in a small soundproofed room. It was/is a thin plate of metal suspended in the room that bounced sound around and was the "wall of sound" phil spector was famous for.

Oct 14, 2003 08:06 pm Rverb is an amazing reverb processor, most probably the most powerful I have avaliable to me.

Oct 17, 2003 08:05 am just leaving the vocal track dry and copying it to another track, then sliding it back just a touch in the timeline, and altering its eq's and lowering its volume can give an amazing reverb type deal. give that a shot
Oct 17, 2003 08:22 am The new issue of Music Tech Magazine has a huge article on vocal processing. Very interesting stuff.

Oct 17, 2003 08:40 am I have used the copy track stuff to get fat guitar sound when only one track was recorded, like live recording. and I must say it is VERY handy to just copy a track and slide the copy in the timetable.
Oct 17, 2003 08:43 am Another way is to just have two mics recording on two different tracks. Have the mics located differently and you will get a double track of the same performance with two diff sounding mics with a VERY subtle delay that can really fatten stuff up.
With vocals, try having one mic right in front of the singer like usual, and another a few feet away up in a corner where the ceiling meets two walls and pointing toward the corner...leaving a foot or two between the corner and the mic. That'll give you good natural reverb and won't use any extra CPU power :-)

Oct 17, 2003 11:03 pm My board has a spring reverb built in that I use a lot on vocals, but other than that I use Ozone, or sometimes I use my own reverb box. It's a square plywood box with a speaker attached on one side in the middle are a few springs and a slinkey, all of which are removeable so that you can alter it, and a metal plate, and on the other side of the box, pointing in towards the speaker, is a mic. It addsa nice spring reverb that is unique to whatever you run through it. It's not that expensive to make either.

Oct 17, 2003 11:05 pm I also have an outboard phonics reverb unit, but it's kind of noisey so it doesn't see that much use.
