I almost always run the delay output into the reverb too, been doing that for years. I remember one time I was mixing Peter Mayer, (now Jimmy Buffet’s guitarist) when he was an opening act for somebody at Six Flags, and the guy that set up the system was not happy unless he was telling me how to do everything during our soundcheck, I kept saying yea thanks, I got it". The when he thought he really had me, he said, “just so you know, you got your reverb aux send turned up on the delay return”, to which I replied… yea, on purpose. Then I gave him a little bit of his own medicine by explaining why, then he sheepishly backed off and said “Oh, OK that’s cool”
I am going to set up my QU right now and post the settings I use.
I assume you have a dedicated USB junpdrive for you Qu mixer and it’s files,
so put these two presets in your Library folder, but you should do a back-up of your files first.
Dan - wow… Thanks for the files! I downloaded them and loaded them up in my Qu… I tested them using a vocal recording. Seems appropriate for certain styles but as you know routing and eqing of effects can really change things.
How is your routing for the reverb? Just on the channel or to a subgroup? Also do you have any equing on the effect?
I used no Eq on the effects in those examples.
For live mixing concerts etc, I still go the “old school” way of using a single mono aux send to the reverb and then returning the reverb in stereo of course When I mix on the Mac computer in Digital Performer, I use Altiverb and if it is classic music such as a symphony, then I don’t use individual aux sends from inputs but instead, I route all woodwinds to a stereo group and then send that group to yet another stereo track where Altiverb is inserted. I do that for the other three sections of the orchestra too, brass, percussion and strings. The reason for not inserting the Altiverb in each of the four groups is so that I can freely use fader automation of sections’ group masters without Altiverb’s output being jerked around in that fader.
Sounds a little weird, but this video I made quite some time ago describes it better than words… you can skip to 13:08 to see the part about reverb routing.
