Synth reverb or external reverb -
18 May 2014, at 19:09
Hey guys, I'm curious about how you apply reverb on synth parts. Do you guys use the reverb built in to the synth or deactivate it to use an external reverb processor? I've heard that when applying reverb to electronic music you don't have to be concerned about using the same reverb on all your sounds since synthesized sounds don't exist inside a real space. But when listening to a breakdown of a track that is done well it transports the listener to a certain environment, as though all the sounds are encapsulated in uniform space. When you guys do this, do you deactivate the synth reverbs in favor of a reverb plugin and apply the same reverb via sends, one long, one medium, and one ambient (or something of the sort). Or do you just mix and match reverbs? If so, how do you achieve that spatial uniformity?
