Smoothing fx sends

[mixsit]

Away from my rig so I haven’t actually checked this out or anything, so I’m just tossing this out here. I was thinking about how to put some spread on this guitar solo track –it happens be clean’ with a lot of ‘clicky stuff on it (think chicken scratch' style- as in part of the sound).
Delays, a slap-verb, whatever, problem sometimes is those sharpies’ tend to want to stick out on delays’ and I don’t want to end up with that kind of noisy’ backdrop.
Enter Transient Designer? Yes, much like a limiter in the send, but not level dependent.

Well then maybe- that would open up the use of low diffusion verb on kits and such –w/o the ‘bee bees in a can thing’?

A ‘post it for the tool box later..

ha! i should have said 'smoothing fx sends.. how to?'

Have you tried/considered just low passing on the send? Or if a low pass takes too much out, just notching the one or two most dominant attack frequencies?

Haven't tackled this particular one yet, so no and that would be one tack to soften edge', but at a loss of brightness. Again, just being general at this point, more along the lines of removing edges that can tend to end up forefront in defining how they're heard in the mix of things.
In ref to verbs for example- low diffusion, ok for vocal, risky on drums’.

Just added.. I seem to have become aware (lately more maybe where this 'extra stuff that are part of normal run of the mill tracks, like in between stroke guitar chunks', distortions and such, can combine in very unexpected ways to sound like playing errors', sometimes sound like drums problems when they are not).

Why not just put a MBC in front of the verb?

I'd try cutting everything past 4k with a low pass filter after the delay & lightly compress after that.
