FL Studio: one reverb on multiple channels... But how?

[james_laverc]

I'm trying to use a single reverb instance for multiple instruments/channels in FL Studio, instead of loading a separate reverb plugin on each channel. What is the correct way to set this up?

You need a Send (and return).

FL is a bit, erm, unique in how it handles these things. Usually you create a Send which sends a copy of that channel's signal off to another place - usually a reverb - that comes back on a Return channel - which is summed to the Masters.

Mostly in a DAW these days you simply create the Send (and maybe the Return if the system didn't make it for you) and insert the reverb in the Return channel so now you hear the snare at the Sn channel and the reverb sent from that Sn at the Return (usually named 'Verb) at the Masters just like you put that reverb on the Sn itself.

Except now you can send some of every channel to that Reverb send. The win being a) one reverb for the whole piece and b) you can send more of the backing singers so they seem 'behind' and less of the Ry Bus (Drums + Bass) so they stay forward and clear.

Now, thinking on it but not looking at pics, I am pretty sure FL added Sends so do some of the ole RTFMing as I am sure it will be there.

There is two ways actually. First you need to click on the little upways arrow below the fader:

Send from eg. insert 1 to insert 2. Put a reverb on insert 2 then click on insert 1, then click on the upwards arrow below insert 2s volume fader. Then a send amount knob will appear.

Second is a dedicated send plugin.
