Predelay on Reverb = Win

Post by lowpass » Mon Mar 21, 2011 2:28 pm

Get that punch from the snare come through and then the epic 'verb after it without clouding up the transient... Beautiful

It's been a while since I posted so thought I'd just whack that up before asking some questions!

I layer dry and wet to avoid this issue!


btw, punch in a snare? I thought kicks punch...
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

it's some meme from DOA, few years ago everyone wanted to have snares like pendulum. i'm more into rimshot-like snappy ones as well (though i definetly lack samples in that regard, but pitching up acoustic snares and layering with claps works for the moment)

Some meme?

Horrible snares have plagued Dubstep in recent years imo.

Yeah with the long reverbs I usually have to turn em right down to avoid drowning out the impact of the drum (using the 'verb as a send') but with this I seem to be able to get a lot more reverb out of it and retain the punch

Pre delay is one of your most effective tools for positioning sounds in a mix. In the abstract ambient space that a reverb "creates" small-ish (30-60ms roughly) values give the perception of depth, larger values push your sound closer to the front generally speaking. However with small pre delay values and cheap reverbs you may have phasing issues as early reflections interact with your source.

Experimentation is good. :)
