I just purchased a Lexicon PCM70. This is my first nice digital reverb that I've ever owned. I've had a day and a half mixing with it and while it is an incredible reverb I have quickly realized that I could easily recreate the 80's with this. I've been using room mic's, spring reverbs, tape delays, Daw delay, self made chambers etc. to cover ambience duties until now.

HI everyone,

This is my first question here.

I want to record heavy guitar with sm57 (very dry recording ) in front of my amp.
I will copy the original track and delay it a little bit to create a fatter tone, hard panned right/left (fake double-tracking).

I heard this plugin is really good, but I'm hard pressed to shell out $1500 for the full PCM version. Just wondering what I would be missing out on if I just got the LXP version...

Hi all,

It seems that when I hit the stop button in Cubase, the track stops, but the reverb actually continues on momentarily, as if the stop function has no effect. What exactly is going on here, and is this an effective way to preview reverb by itself (since otherwise it is masked to a great degree by the music)?

Is reverb ever added at the mastering stage? If so, is it a common thing? If it is something that is done, is there any compelling reason to leave the mix dry until mastering?

A few months ago I purchased a Lexicon reverb unit. It's sound is exactly what I want in reverb, it's perfect for my music. The problem is that my mixing environment is digital ("in the box"), and I can't apply the Lexicon reverb to every intrument the way I do inside Cubase.

I am puzzled about where I should be applying my effects, and whether there is any detrimental effect to summing effects in serial. Let's say I have guitar, bass, and drum tracks, and that they benefit from some processing. Should I be treating them individually, say by soloing the track and adding effects there, or should I be adding reverb and compression to all of them in the stereo bus?

Im experimenting on some lead vocals and have 2 reverbs on buses . 1 bus has a smaller reverb which is set to
the same level throughout the song. The 2-bus has a bigger space reverb and I have been riding this one
and bringing it in on the end of some words and phrases.
Is this a standard use of reverb on lead vocals?

Hello All,

I'm working on mixing some vocal tracks and am to understand that both delay and reverb help add sound quality. I have experienced this with other tracks and want to continue to use these effects, but have some questions on best practice. I'm fully aware of the "whatever sounds best" principle, so I'd like you opinions and advice outside of this.
