One final question of my own about instantiating reverbs

[Christopher Gilland]

While we're on the subject of helping Danny with his verb issue, I
figured I'd ask this question.


When, if ever, is it appropriate to put a reverb plug directly on an
insert of an audio or mono track?


I usually have been putting the reverb directly on one of the inserts of
the audio track for my vocal, then simply going into the plug itself,
and adjusting the wet/dry mix ratio within the plug itself.


Evidently, that isn't the best way to do this though. Everyone I've seen
online, and read about seems to do it via sends to an AUX track instead.
I could see this if you're trying to take multiple tracks, and adjust
the reverb together for all tracks, but if you only have one lead vocal
track, and that's all you wanna verb, then would my method not work?


I'm just trying, ultimately, to figure out what things to ask myself to
determine what would be the best workflow. I know it will depend on a
application per application scenareo basis, but... yeah...

IF you only have one vocal track or one track that needs the reverb, there is nothing wrong with putting it on the track as an insert and adjusting the wet dry mix in the plug in. Busses make more sense if you are sending multiple tracks.
If someone uses a lot of track templates however and they already have a. Template with an aux track with the verb they want on it, they may just load that template and route the single vocal track to it. It saves them the time of instantiating and setting up the reverb in an insert.

Hi,

I guess another disadvantage to put the reverb directly on the vocal track is that, if it’s a mono track, you will not get the stereo effect of the reverb itself.

Best,
Niklas

Mono reverbs and delays have their place. But this also varies from DAW to DAW. Logic for example will let you do a mono to stereo instance of something like a reverb or delay. Not sure if PT does. If it doesn’t, then yes you will have to send the mono vocal to a stereo AUX track if you want a stereo reverb.
