I'd use a different reverb for each trak, but as long as they eat too much CPU i try to do everything with delays and probably use only a long and a short one.

What are your methods?

Thanks

I usually have two buses, one has kick and bass the other has everything else, and I tend to put a very light reverb on the everything else. Sometimes on individual tracks like Strings or Claps. Thats about it..

Kick and bass trhu reverb? Which style are you mainly into?

no, the kick and bass dont get reverb, everything else does

ahhh..mmm..adding rev to everything could make the mix a bit dirty IMHO. Seems cool for a ballad though

Add reverb to stuff that I think needs reverb. Sometimes more than one per track.

Doesn't anyone use sends? I've mixed albums using only ONE reverb on a bus... feeding it through sends from individual tracks.

Yes me too. But with few of them. Few acoustic spaces for few insturments and thats all. Other way if more reverb is used you will sooner or later get muddy mix and i think that it is not good to have every insturments in its own acoustic space. It is not wrong but it is hard to mix that way. At least to me.

So how many different revs are you using? Between...2 and 5 or something?

In a given track? Between none and lots.

Track as in 'there are ten tracks on this album' not as in 'a MIDI or audio track in a project'.

Well, does he mean how many different reverbs do you use on any one completed track/tune?

And do you use different ones from one completed track/tune to the next, that is do you use different reverbs for each tune on the album?

It seems to me one is stuck whith either one reverb or another on anyone mix. Find one you like and stick to it? Which, personaly I don't like.

How many differetnt reverbs u use in a song?
