If you have ever listened to the same song 25 times in a row pressing your headphones really hard on your ears to try and figure out what kind of
reverb is being used, then this video is for you.
Fab discusses how to create natural spaces using reverb plugins. This is not about 80s obvious trails or Enya style deep underwater immersions, it's about creating a 'back wall' for your mix, height above the instruments and sauce to link the different elements together. You will gain the feel for what every one of the plugins does via extensive A/B comparisons and will get clear guidelines on how to think about the process to be able to emulate the techniques discussed on your own mixes. Just be careful with the back wall, it's freshly painted.
Please download the associated audio files to mix these tracks on your own system with your own reverbs. Just click on the orange square shaped button with a beautiful waveform design on it. (It also contains screenshots of the reverb settings)

I am new to this, but I downloaded the files and made my own reverb sends as per the video and my mind is blown (without buying anything new).
I used to send things to a single reverb send and expect it to just sort everything out. Now I know why my mixes have no depth or height. I am very happy as I never knew how to achieve this with my mixes. Thank you.

This one really opened my eyes! I always thought I know reverbs, boy was I wrong. It sounds silly but I could apply it immediately to my mix within 5 minutes. Now I understand how to create natural sounding spaces, Thanks a lot!

I don't understand why with the office, the snare drum doesn't feeling far away, but with vocals, bass, etc, yes.

I don't know why it has taken so many years to hear this eloquently simplified with space, depth front to back, & height. This guy really has a knack for preserving the artist's relationship to sound. I didn't roll my eyes once. And I feel like my students could watch this without napping.

This is by far the best reverb tutorial I have ever seen. And I have seen a lot, because I was never satisfied with my reverb results. Now I am. Thank you very much!!

The video is not loading, no matter what browser I'm using. My internet connection is otherwise working fine. What to do?

18 minutes rearranged everything I thought I knew about reverb and focused my approach with purpose and intention. Brilliant! Who knew such a short time could be so valuable?
