Whichever type of reverb you end up choosing for a given situation, how you set it is critical and can have a considerable impact on the results. Especially if the instrumentation is lean, a reverb with a relatively short decay is a useful way to create a small-room, intimate feel. With an understanding of how to manipulate reverb settings, you'll be able to finesse the reverb tone of the vocal in a way that creates a pleasing sound and enhances the feel and drama of the song. The most important aspect of finding a good sound is to understand the impact of the reverb parameters and other effects, such as compression and saturation, on the sound of your reverb. Given those options, and the numerous ways you can modify reverb with compression, EQ, delay and saturation (whether built into the reverb or applied from a separate plugin), you have a broad palette of choices available to you for creating a compelling space for the vocal to sit in. If you pick a hall reverb for the vocal, do not use a hall on any other sound in the mix. These tips will focus on lead vocals, but many can also work with background vocals, depending on the situation. Strategy #2: Use a single reverb type. Do you want it to be aggressive or natural? It's useful to evolve your thinking beyond, "Do I want a plate or a hall?" For example, saturation placed after the reverb in the signal chain can provide a pleasant character change that doesn't sound distorted per se but adds texture to the reverb that can be really cool. Postponing them slightly with pre-delay allows the transients of the lyrics to poke through, which not only keeps the vocal upfront but also more intelligible. You could also use a convolution reverb with a small space like a club as the IR. The addition of dotted or triplet values should also be considered when straight values are not quite giving … [{"slot":"6","codeName":"NeoWizeRelated29Nov9505", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:95, off:5", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"24"},{"slot":"7","codeName":"NeoWizeList5050Feb20", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:50, off:50", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"8","codeName":"NeoWizeMiniCartWithProd", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:50, newint:50", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"9","codeName":"CartPopupFreePluginBF20", "testType":"0", "variations": "popup:80, none:20", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"10","codeName":"NeoWizeCartRecsBF20", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:10, newint:80, none:10", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"21","codeName":"NeoWizeHome0694", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:6, waves:94", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"22","codeName":"CartFreePluginPopup", "testType":"0", "variations": "delta-checkout:20, delta-order-more:20, fifty-checkout:20, fifty-order-more:20, none:20", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"23","codeName":"NeoWizePersonalDeals9505m", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:95, off:5", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"24"},{"slot":"24","codeName":"NeoWizeMaster", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:95, off:5", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"25","codeName":"HomepageAB", "testType":"0", "variations": "start_mixing:25, demo_to_master:25, mixing_tips:25, leslie_brathwaite:25", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"26","codeName":"BFPostFree20", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:95, off:5", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"27","codeName":"NeoWiseProductPageFakeReverseReport", "testType":"0", "variations": "on:50, off:50", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"28","codeName":"ListPageButtonColorBF20", "testType":"0", "variations": "white:5, blue:95", "isActive": "True","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"29","codeName":"CartStep2DefaultTab", "testType":"0", "variations": "default:50, dynamic:50", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"30","codeName":"CartStep2NoPassword", "testType":"1", "variations": "default:50, nopassword:50", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"},{"slot":"31","codeName":"Cart3PaymentBillingOrder", "testType":"0", "variations": "PaymentTop:50, BillingTop:50", "isActive": "False","masterSlotID":"0"} ], 4 Vocal Reverb Tips to Make Your Mix Sing, Check out this article on how to create realistic room sounds with reverb, Waves OVox Vocal ReSynthesis Nominated for SOS Award, How to Get the Nile Rodgers Chic Funk Sound, Mix Panning & Placement Tricks using Delay and EQ, Example: Here's a vocal line repeated three times.
