hey guys i know best to use reverb as sends, but what if i have a track with a specific reverb just for that track, should i still make it a send, or is there no difference with it as an insert?

Insert is fine.

If that's the way you're going to get the effect you want, it's fine.

Yeah, it's not a "rule" to always use reverb via a send. It's just a technique used for organization and CPU usage management. Using it as an insert is cool for things where you want a very specific reverb sound because you'll have one less bus to deal with and you'll be able to automate the plugin easier (at least in my software).

As said, insert can work.
However, one other thought is that one advantage of using the send/return route is the ease with which you can balance between the wet and dry signals, either manually or using automation within your DAW. I rarely just turn on the 'verb and leave it. Instead I tweak the amount--say a bit more on choruses and less on verses as an example.
Some reverb plug ins allow an easy and effective control of the wet/dry balance; others can be a bit fiddly making the send/return option more convenient.
Either can work, but ease of use does matter.

No reverb is perfect for everything - something that fits on drumkit could not fit the vocal at all.
Cubase's convolution reverb is pretty good... just get some new impulses. Check the link:

I really like Ambience as far as a free reverb plugin goes. Presets aren't the way to go though. Presets are starting points at best. You can begin with a preset, but you will probably have to tweak the settings at least a little in order to get it to sound the way you want. If you're really serious about learning how to mix, you're going to have to move away from presets and allow your ears to develop and learn what sounds best for each mix.

My favourite reverb plugin (outside the ones native to Audition) is DASAMPLE GLACEVERB. Some of the presets are pretty useful--but, frankly, it's worth spending the time experimenting with the settings because a bit of tweaking can make the difference between "okay" and "perfect".

I agree. I think that is a nice reverb and it does take some time to dial it in.
Me personally, I use impulse files with Reaper's Reaverb.

I am sure glad I opened this thread. I just learned (through this thread) about convolution reverb, and Ableton 9 included this with their Max for Live plug in. And quite frankly, it is really amazing what this does.How'd this spammer get in here?
Thanks to whomever open this thread back up.
