what are your fave verb settings?

you could always try using a gate

funnily enough I was just trying that this afternoon mate, it does help a fair bit, the only thing I worried about is maybe it is a bit of an unnatural way of treating reverb, coz verb tails don't get cut in real life. I know this is a common workaround that has been discussed here before, i will definitely experiment more..

if you're making techno i wouldnt be too concerned about what sounds natural

Highpass it if needed. The more you listen to different techno the more you are bound to realize that lots of verb-tips don't apply to this kinda music.

Tracks by big names can be bathing in verb. I would almost say that the (over)usage of reverb is one of the absolute key-factors in getting a ''pro''-techno sound. As rhythmtech said: don't worry to much about it sounding natural.

Two different reverbs on sends - one short (room or something like it) and one long one should allow you to create a nice 3-d effect. I'd just not put to much and to long a reverb on kicks and deep bass.

For lots of people 300 Hz is a value at where reverb usage starts. below that maybe not and mono if aiming at vinyl compatibility.

That's all i can add.

cheers guys, I've just tried two different megaverbs, one with a short decay and gated and a long decay on the other no gate, cut the short at 200hz and is sounding much better, I will experiment more methinks..

here's the product of my experiments, can someone tell me if the verb is wet enough, especially on the percussion as a) i just got new monitors and am just gettin used to them and b) i always get criticised for dry percussion

[loopdon]

will listen tomorrow. to possibly answer your question beforehand:

a) compare to tracks YOU like; possibly have enjoyed in a club situation

b) it boils down to taste; different producers handle this in different ways and many approaches are valid
