So the bigger the room, what?

1. More pre delay
2. More decay
3. Less liveness
4. Less Attack
5. Less high frequencies and more low frequencies eq

Cool idea Blu. A bit like what a finaliser does or that old studio trick of putting the final mix through a reverb unit to make it shimmer and sound expensive. I'm gonna try this tonight. Thanks. But:-

What room size (metres) do you punch into your "master" Lexicon and do you add a touch of verb to the kick and bass too?

It really depends (that old cliche) on the mix before it , never an exact figure- just what sounds right to me really i guess, i never really go for a gigantic room size tho. Ill sometimes apply settings onto the lex and then solo/unsolo the send and adjust size etc back and forth from there till i have something that clicks into place

i never reverb the kick and bassline either, its really just used on tie all the other stuff together, previously verbed stuff - synths, vocals etc...

If you want to try something fairly dramatic on drums, try the PSP vintagewarmer and crank the drive knob up 6-8dB.

another fun thing to do is put processors before you reverb on an aux channel. For example, a gently-sloping hipass filter to prevent low frequency content from getting muddled in the verb. Or an old-skool trick of putting an expander first so the louder a singer sang, the more verb they got. Or try extreme compression for the opposite effect.

i do house tunes around that tempo- havent cracked my big verbs yet but for drums i use my lexicon lxp-1.....shortest decay- top rolled down, density up, and a delay of either 8ms/16ms/28ms or 58ms- usually 28 or 16 as they are divisions of the 130 tempo...picked it up froma book by bobby owsinki....seems loads of pros use pre delay on verbs all the time- copied it and yes it sounds great!!
