Music producer and mixing engineer.
I create music for others, music for myself, videos about making music, and write newsletters for producers/mixers.
Want your delay to sound like it's splashing around?
Put a reverb in front of the delay at 100% mix and you'll hear the reverb echo away.
Bonus ponts if you use ping-pong delay.
Just a friendly reminder that you can run your reverbs into delays, and delays into reverbs.
There are many ways to do different things when producing or mixing. ๐ค
If you want to really separate a reverb from something like a vocal, put a delay plugin in front of the reverb plugin at 100% mix, and an 1/8th or 1/16th delay.
This will cause a clear gap between the vocal finishing, and the reverb starting.
