Combining Reverbs for the Perfect Vocal Sound

More Will Yip demos! Dude is a legend.

i like his energy. he’s a good producer/engineer too. shoutout to will

I do this: use one for early reflections & the other for late reflections...the end result is more lush & realistic sounding reverb especially if you keep the early verb super short & the late short enough to not muddy up the mix but long enough to be felt more so than heard. When you just go to a real room w/ alot of ambiance & listen to how everything sounds, you get an even better imagination of what can be done to replicate that. Things like LP filtering the signal before it hits the verb end up helping it sound more real. Making sure you hear no siblance in the verb also helps because IRL you never hear reverb bounce off a wall & sound so crisp & audible it needs a de-esser lol. Reverb lives in the lower mids & the proximity effect of sounds being warmer & having less information in the highs & high mids when further is very much a part of reverb. When you do hear bright frequencies in real ambiance, its odd metallic noises from the amount of reflections bouncing & what theyre bouncing off. To add some of that, you can just multiband saturate certain frequencies in the high mids that you already cut out. Keep in mind you can get different effects from doing A to the early verb & B to the late...maybe making one brighter than the other via added saturation & you can always add that saturation to the signal BEFORE it hits the verb if adding it after compresses the verb too much. Have fun...I love reverb.

More Will, his productions are killer

Love Will Yup and love this run through of his verb processing ✨

A few years back, I learned this technique from Jon Allen (the engineer who mixed for Rod Stewart, Steve Tyrell, Kristin Chenoweth & Neal McCoy) Now I look forward to blending plate, hall and room verbs on vocals when opportunity presents itself.

Thanks Will for your time and advice! Thank you too, UA!

Love to see Mr Yip on here. Please feature him more often!

More from Will please. His records rip.

Love the ambience in the raw track

will yip is the absolute man

Good stuff...thanks Will!

great tutorial, thanks!

Awesome presentation.

Great content, keep them coming. It would have been nice to hear before/after with the 2 reverb auxes on/off.

I LOVE that he used Gregor Barnett’s song for this! Especially THIS song! Love this dude’s production too. As requested in all the comments, please more from Will! 🤘🤘🤘
