I’ve had some really awesome, thoughtful responses on this forum around bass & reverb. Next up – vocal delay 😎

It feels like every mix video I watch of the “pros” uses vocal delays in some way, shape, or form. But I can’t seem to find a spot for it in my mixes that doesn’t feel like it’s pulling the vocal too far down into the mix, and…

Thanks, Paul & Dana.

I’ll start by saying – WOW – what amazingly insightful responses!

The micing tips will certainly come in handy in the future.

In this case, it seems like both of you have hit on the issue around if it’s pre-recorded and there’s nothing there to boost…which as I listen back on my tracks seems to be the case.

Ironically, I…

Hey guys,

I make mostly acoustic music which is largely a folk, bluegrass ensemble (guitar, bass, fiddle, mandolin, banjo). So no drums.

When I’m reference mixing, a lot of comparable genre track have a nice big bass that fills the full 100Hz and below spectrum where the kick drum sometimes sits in pop/rock tracks.

The challenge I have is a lot…

Wow! Thank you so much @-PT & @dana for the detailed responses.

I at least feel that I’ve been on the right track after reading some of the tips 😎

You both mentioned EQing the reverb. Ironically, I’ve been experimenting with the Ocean Way (and Sound City) plugin from UAD for my room reverb. While I have used the microphone high-pass settings,…

Hi Dana,

Wondering how you handle reverb on an acoustic group like the Avetts. Acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass.

It’s a collaborative group from different cities, so we unfortunately can’t track together to get some natural mic bleed.

Wondering if you try to get a group room sound using reverb in those situations or keep it dry?

I’m struggling…
