Verb Shaping Trick
05/04/2009

Reverb, whether subtle or extreme, natural room ambience or artificial space, is an important part of many mixes. If you're looking for a way to quickly shape the reverb you're using, add some EQ!

First, set up the reverb type and length that you want. Then, either patch in a hardware EQ or insert a plug-in equalizer on the reverb return channel(s), after the reverb. Now you can use the equalizer to quickly shape the tone of the reverb, remove annoying, ringing frequencies, or reduce the amount of low or high-end energy in the ambience to keep the mix clean and open.
 

Our Customers Say...

“When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.”
