+1, actually picked that trick up from the Charles Dye DVD.

+2....I like a combination of verbs (thanks to that dvd). short plate, long plate, medium hall, and non linear....

I like to compress the hell out of it and then gate it to timing of the tune. Make it sound huge, yet clean. I´m starting to use more and more reverb on kick and guitars as well. I know people usually believe heavy guitars and clicky kick drums should sound dry, but YMMV.

Andy is really good on verbs, he makes Dverb sound great, yet I can´t dial anything usuable on that...

OT: Jesus Christ the riff at the end of that clip sounds amazing, the part where the one guitar starts in the break.

Some of the best riffs I've heard are recorded by Goddamn Guitar

Thanks Moonlapse, setting the predelay at around the time you gave really made the reverb stick out a bit more...

Here is a sample, I mixed the reverb pretty high so it's easier for you guys to hear:

Hey man,

That's pretty cool. I think you might have even more success if you add a bit more top-end and low-end to the snare. Kinda 'hi-fi' it a little. Verb could be even brighter if you want.

What guitar amp was that by the way?

Good stuff!

Hehe you know since last year I discovered GOR, everytime I mix a project I always end up comparing it to a GOR song... And I'll end up remixing everything cause GOR is so brutal in comparison...

So there I have licked your ass totally clean..

And here is a new tryout for the snarereverb... Tell me what you think. I took a place in the song where it's easy to hear.

Oh and for you who asked about mics, guitar etc.
It's a Dean guitar with EMGs. The mic is a MD421, the speaker was a Celestion V30

Snare verb sounds pretty nice now man. I'd be pretty happy with that one

ok thanks dude...

What's this Charles Dye DVD? Must have!

 

[Ermz]

Sounds cool man! I think from here on in, only time and some extra fiddling on your part will improve it. Setting verbs seems to be a skill much like any other in the audio industry... just keep at it and you'll develop your own taste for what you like.

Bumping this back up because I suck with reverb.

How do you get this kind of reverb sound?
