I blow at using send reverbs. It's the worst part of my production IMO.

I use a lot per track, would be too time consuming to write them all out.
In general I have one for each group of instruments I'm using, so for example strings, pianos and choirs go to a nice large "church" style reverb whereas (midrange) basses may go to a really tight reverb with a massive high pass filter on just to catch the highs and ensure that when I play stabby notes they don't cut too abruptly but bleed together.

This.
Why would you want to have favourite settings, every track is different.

Favorite settings?
Doesn't it depend on the sound?

I like to use the default setting for Audacity's Gverb. It doesn't have the same parameters you listed in your template, nor can I use it for sends, but I print a fully wet signal and put it on its own track and pretend it's a send.
Roomsize (m): 75.75
Reverbg Time (s): 7.575
Damping: 0.5
Input Bandwidth: 0.75
Dry Signal level(dB): -70
Early reflection level (dB): 0
Tail Level(dB): -17.5

lol this thread is so specific. its going to completely depend on what you are grouping together and what sound you want in that particular track/album
to add something to the thread: i usually use a plate reverb for my drums (lexicon) with a decay of about .7 - .9 seconds, highpassed

Tbh I suck at reverb. Click through the presets until i hear something I like and then just tweak the wet/dry, maybe lp and hp.
I much prefer stacking delays on top of each other.

I dont have any particular settings but I make a conscious decision early in the track whether I'm going to use a little of a big hall or a lot of a small room.

Specific settings aside, I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts on the predelay parameter. I used to always set it to the shortest time because I thought it would sound more cohesive but I guess if I want something to explode or have punch maybe I should set it so the reverb doesn't start until after the attack of the sound.

I feel like I'm just doing random shit most of the time. Anyone know any good reverb tutorials?

I generally work with those settings depending on the sound. I might set the input highpass high and widen the sound if its a synth/vocal, but if i am going for a spacey reverb on the end of a bassline I would set it lower with the sound more centered. Decay is usually under 4 seconds if it is a send.
One thing i do is put a compressor after the reverb. Really brings out the tails a bit. I think its better to have a short tail with a compressor then a long tail without a compressor, it makes the track a lot cleaner imo.

I realised how important reverb is after hearing this song:

The first part is without any reverb, next is with reverb.
Large difference.
