Reverb tails can be used to create a sense of finality and end a scene. But I’m finding lately its very overused! So, turn down those CATHEDRAL or BIG HALL settings and try out applying reverb with more subtlety.
This short vid shows you how I apply reverb as an item FX in Reaper. It’s defs NOT a one size fits all. I still use a reverb send or sometimes render the FX onto the item (like Pro Tools’ audiosuite). But I do find its the most flexible way to draw a tail where the automation doesn’t get messed up from moving things around in my session.
This session and all the examples used are from the podcast SHOCKING, HEARTBREAKING, TRANSFORMATIVE. Thank you Jess!
📍This was recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation in so-called australia. This country is founded on land that was stolen from Indigenous people. Sovereignty was never ceded.
