Just discovered pre delay

I'll be there
I don't know why but I always ignored this setting on verb. It seems to give the track a bit more breathing room, especially distorted guitar.

And the quest continues...
 
What pre-delay does, more or less, is move the original signal closer or further away. If you think about it, the further away from you a person is, the less time it takes the reflections to arrive after the original sound.

I like to use (usually) just one reverb for a mix, sometimes two. At the very least, I always use the same reverb for all vocals. I used to use a lot of plate reverbs (real plates, not a verb in a box), though I no longer have access to one. I would send the lead vocal through a delay so it was brought much further forward in the mix than the rest of the vocals. Basically, using the same reverb, but with different pre-delays.

ain't it cool. especially when you get the pre-delay in sync with the beat of your song.

oh, and BTW pre-delay doesn't move the original sound closer, it moved the effected sound further away.
