Re: [xl7] reverb settings

2002-02-04 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Personally I've never found the reverbs on "groove boxes" to be anything 
other than rudimentary at best.  Still it's usable and does the job in a 
pinch.  I typically have been using the plate reverbs, and Hall2 the most. 
 Using the High Frequency Dampening can help mask any graininess that you 
find on cheaper reverbs, as can lower Decay settings.  To much reverb just 
buries you instruments in a wash of sound, and takes away any punch they 
have.

For snares, the plate reverb works good, especially with small send 
amounts, I use around 2-3%.

Well thought I'd throw up a new topic..
Anyone have any recomendations for good reverb settings? 
Most of the default rooms sound very tinny to me, so I use the effects 
very sparingly.
 I don't have allot of experience with verbs.. any recomendations?
