Then this is the exception that proves the rule. Once it became about using reverb in a mix instead of using reverb in monitors it became boring and generic.
I think it's just starting to get interesting. Look at all the posts following the segue....about the segue!
Kidding aside though...like someone mentioned a few posts back, the question/discussion about using reverb (or not) in a cue mix during tracking...well, there's not really much to discuss, either you do or don't. I mean, there's not a heck of a lot of technique to talk about or application. It's mainly a do or don't thing...with maybe a small consideration as to what amount of reverb to use in a cue mix, but again, it's all down to personal preferences...and/or up to the singer/player.
I think we hit on all the good points...and then it was inevitable that a segue would occur.
AFA as mix reverbs...I'm guessing that these days most people in the HR world are using soft sims. I was wondering if anyone in the HR world ever tries to utilize real acoustic spaces...like long hallways or other spaces?
I know there are some long standing pro studios that still have large echo chambers in use for certain sounds.
Of course for us HR people, it's not feasible to build them...but there is the possibility finding existing spaces to record in.
At my IT day gig, one of my side jobs is maintaining the website and ticketing system for the theater that falls under our organization...and it's a big MOFO, seats over 4k and has two balconies, and a huge stage.
I've thought about dragging in an amp and maybe trying to cut some guitar tracks in there on an off weekend...but just never got around to it.
So yeah...does anyone here ever try stuff like that to get natural reverb...?
