Reverb send processing

[MrBaxter]

Hey all, I have been messing about with return buss processing specifically with reverb.

In general I usually high pass the input of the reverb and have a an eq after for shaping the tone and then follow it up with a compressor.

Do you guys have a go to chain for your reverb sends?

I'd say thats it right there.

I just setup a send with a specific reverb that im feeling, compress, then eq out the lows.

You can use amp effects instead of a compressor too add grit, depends on what your trying to accomplish

Why compressing the reverb?

[outdropt]

A lot of times when using the reverb on a send you'd leave the signal 100% wet. I find using a compressor brings up the reverb and then ill control the volume to taste, either with the volume control on the send itself or the send control on each specific patch.

EQ and light compression usually, sometimes I bitcrush it if I want it a bit gritty.

The compression is just to control the dynamics

I would probably set up a couple different reverb sends with different decay times.

eg one at .8 seconds, one at 2.5 seconds, one at 12 seconds, etc...

But yes I would definitely high pass all of them at least at 120 or so Hz unless you're going for a certain effect with the bass.

^That's is what I do.

I found not being scared of EQing the reverb more when introducing a new sound gives a cleaner finished mix.
