Addition of a Global Reverb

 

Up till now you have been processing individual instruements (or groups of instruments) to remove unwanted sounds, improve their quality, or otherwise make the track better in your mix.  Now, you will use a reverb on your entire mix.

 

In real life (live sound), everything you hear is infused with the 'global effect' of the room you are listening in. Using a global effect on your mix can be very useful in rounding out the sound of a mix and sort of pull it together so that it has a more believable, everyone-playing-together-in-one-room kind of message to the listener.

 

 

 

1) Create an Aux return and drag it so it is next to the Master fader.

(This is a typical place for Aux Returns if you were using an analog mixing console. *In this article, I am dealing with D-Verb in Pro Tools. See the Figure 1 above.)

 

 

 

2) Go to I/O labels and name Buss 1-2 (stereo) 'Main Reverb'.

 

 

 

3) Place D-Verb mono/stereo at the Aux Return Insert.

 

 


4) Create a Send for all the tracks that do not yet have one.

(There is no need to add an additional Send to a track which you gave the track its own Reverb.)

 

 


5) Assign the Sends created for the remaining tracks to Buss 1-2/Main Reverb.

 

6) Set-up the Main Reverb D-Verb as shown in Figure 1.

 

7) Raise the Aux Returns level to 0 dB.

 

8) Run the mix and raise the Send levels one by one for each of the tracks routed to this reverb  and get a good reverb balance.

(Take your time with this. Get a nice blend.)

 

9) Solo a track that's routed to the reverb to hear it in isolation with this reverb.
