I am trying to add effects in the mixdown. I have a stereo effects processor. when i pan the instrument the reverb does not follow the instrument. the reverb stays in the middle. anybody know why??? thanks
Can we try that again- from the channel send (aux 1 and 2?) to verb (In-Left and in-Right?) then verb out to (aux return..?)yetipur said:sorry, I guess i really did not explain myself very well. I am using a analog mixing console. stereo outs from processor to buss 1 & 2 in. then stereo ins from processor to AUX 2 left and right. is this correct? thanks.
Stereo reverb is not a localized point source, it's reflection fron the surrounding environment.yetipur said:its still not working. any other ideas? Im using a lexicon mpx-1. fostex model 450 16 channel mixing console. thx

I tried post fader and pre fader. reverb is louder in post fader setting, because i have eq on the channel. the reverb is coming out of both speakers, but when i pan the instrument to the left,or right, i can hear the panned instrument with reverb, but also i can hear the reverb in the other speaker. Im beginning to think that panning the reverb with the instrument is not possible??? OR.......maybe the buss section or Aux section is damaged????
Dual auxes or sends with pan are for making secondary stereo/pan mixes.yetipur said:How do I use the aux's to pan reverb left and right? Is this even possible??
Mostly, yes. You could have each aux feeding two seperate effects in one box, they'd apt to still be comming out a single pair of outs - you will still have to do your own pan of the outs.Is the reverb that is fed through the AUX always gonna be in the middle??
When you send more than one thing to a verb, they would go to one verb. The ones that need dedicated (panned) will have to have their own verb.AND..... if i go the patch bay route, then i am limited with the amount of channels i can send reverb to. does this mean that since i am working with 16 tracks i would have to buy 16 lexicons.....one for each track???
A stereo image is not necessarily "always in the middle", it's a stereo image that could have it's energy distributed anywhere within the panning spectrum. But regardless of how that energy is spread between the left and right speakers, the image remains stereo, and cann't be "panned".yetipur said:to southside glen,
ok i understand that stereo reverb is a reflection from the surrounding enviornment. But why then would there be left and right ins and outs? Is this to cover the whole Panning spectrum? If the reverb is always in the middle so to speak, why would anyone want to do it this way?
I explain that above, and mixsit also gives some alternate reasoning. The thing is, when you're receiving true stereo information - where the information on the L&R returns is not necessarily identical (it's not a mono signal) - like you are from a stereo reverb, there really is no "panning" in the traditional sense. Assuming you are actually returning both L&R back to the mixer from the Lexicon (you are using both channels, right?), you should be able to use the pan control on the return (it *is* on the return, right?) to adjust relative volume between the stereo L&R channels - much like a balance control on a home stereo amplifier, but like with the balance conrtol, the "pan image" may not appear as moving a point source sound through the degrees as you expect, instead just as a shifting of volume balance.yetipur said:what is the point of having an AUX pan knob like I do on AUX2?????
