Alright, so I'm new, and I'm trying to figure out how to use effects for the life of me.
What I want to do is simple. I just want to understand how to create a stereo image and understand how I should be using my reverb plug in.
So, panning is left to right. And what is front to back? That would have to do with reverb right? Or is it delay? Or are reverb and delay the same thing.
Let me use an example of what I need to figure out:
I have a rock song recorded. It has vox, acoustic guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums.
So, I want the vocals kind of up front, the guitars to the sides and the keyboards and drums in there too. I want this to be a straight forward common sound, nothing special at all.
I am using send effects, so first of all, would I want a different reverb for each instrument? Like a reverb set up for the drums seperate from the vox? Or do I just use the same settings, with a different amount of reverb on the 2 different parts??
Now, what happens if I want the vocals to sound very reverberated, do I need to add even MORE reverb to the rest of the tracks than I would have done before??
Help me out on this, I've played around for a long time and the more verb I add the more muddy everything sounds, and if I don't add it...it sounds like it needs it, I just need to understand some basics and then can figure it out from there!
