SOS Forum • Reverb: Current Best Practice?
Suntower » Fri Mar 12, 2021 7:29 am There are zillions of articles about reverb products and special use cases, but I'm wondering if there is any current 'best practice' as to how many reverbs to use on a pop/rock record, theory configuration. I've read Billy Decker's new book... and of course Mike Senior's 'Mixing' and I always wonder =why= there are so many reverbs in a typical mix. ie. what is their -purpose-. I can see having a separate reverb on the lead vocal or bg vox or a drum buss, but it seems like a lot of pop records will have at least -3- reverbs: close, medium and far.
