So,I've been making this track,and I wanted to make a break of 1-2 bars(like stop everything playing)and then drop it again,but I want everything to be echoing or like if I put a huge reverb on every track..So,How can I do that...I guess I could duplicate every track,take last 2 bars of every track,put a huge reverb,resample,put on the old tracks again,then merge with the last parts of everytrack..but that would be LOOOOOONG as fuck...there must be a quicker way
Thanks,Frank!

Automate the wet/dry on the reverb?

put a reverb or delay on a send and automate that send so that it affects all the tracks for those 2 bars.

reverb on the master and just let it only be activated on your tiny 2 bar break?

Hahaha wow,so stupid I haven't tought of that...really need to stop producing at 4 in the morning
thanks guys

i would do this:

best to leave the master naked, really.

^ Also agreeeeeee

Maybe a squeeze of delay could sound nice too.. just an idea

You could also render out the instruments you plan to use in the break into .wav files, then load them into the project and place them all on their own mixer channel and just run the effects you want to use on that specific mixer channel. that is if you want to leave the master naked which I usually tend to do unless there's something very specific I want to do.

Put reverb on the whole song and just pretend it isn't there for the rest of the time.

i'd just bounce the tune w/o it, and then load it into a new session and do it as a send on the whole thing.

What do you mean by this? Bounce it in it's current state? If so, I don't like this solution, because you're likely to make mix adjustments further down the line. They won't sound right for this section.

If you mean bounce it when the track is done... yeah, I'm down with that, but then you don't have the fx while you're listening and working. I don't really have the maturity to work with big gaps in the track like that, knowing that they'll later be filled. My failing.

I would use a premaster buss. Don't route anything to the master, send everything to the premaster, that you then send to the master. Put your fx on the premaster buss. This is essentially having your fx on your master without having your fx on the master. Purely for voodoo reasons.

I often want to fx the whole mix in little spots, just strikes me as the most elegant way of doing it.
