Lads:
I am in the middle of what is becoming maybe the longest session for the recording of a 5 song ep that ever was. Like almost a year of thinking and rethinking, rerecording and "fixing"
So we have finally reached the home stretch and are about to begin mixing the last two songs.
So here is where you guys/gals come in.
One or two of the songs are going to need some reverb.
Now, I have kind of shyed away from reverb for two reasons:
1. I tend to prefer dry roomy recordings
2. Reverb can be used really right or REALLY wrong and my fear is that it will wash everthing out and eliminate the attack and punch of stuff.
The song we are mixing is a real sparse kind of quiet song w/ drums (mostly toms and kick w/ some HH), Rhodes, occasional guitar and vocals. it is real quiet and then gets loud w/ Fuzzed bass and little tiny guitar solo w/ the drums and Rhodes pounding.
My question is this:
Any of you cats have some tricks you might share on how to achieve a good verbed sound w/ out washing out the whole song? i.e. are there certain instuments that when reverb is applied are more likely to give the illusion that the all of the instruments are verbed. and how 'bout the loud part is it good to take those verbs down to make way for the big dynamic jump?
I have Waves and Hyperprism verbs, and some others.
Hook a mug up w/ your knowledge
Thanks in advance
