[ddots-l] Re: Reverb tips and tricks

Laurie:
You may want to try shortening the dacy time. Also, when you listen to modern recordings these days you'll notice that things are a lot drier than they were back in the eighties. Since you primarily use acoustic instruments in your work, you probably should try to convice John that making things very wet doesn't always work.

Hi folks!

I'm looking for any advice on the use of reverb.  I've tried using various
reverb: Cakewalk, Lexicon pantheon, Sony...and, although I get spectacular
results with some instruments, other instruments and voices seem muddy.  My
favorite of all of the reverb I've tried is the Lexicon, but even then,
sometimes things aren't as clear as they are without it.  Whistles and
flutes seem to love lots of reverb but vocals and guitars seem to be more
difficult.  When we record a song, my husband John will ask if I can make
the vocals wetter.  When I do, however, it's hard to keep the clarity.  What
has anyone else tried?  Any advice?  Any tried and true settings?

Thanks!

Laurie
