Input processing for reverb or eqing after?

catandbeats post Input processing for reverb or eqing after?  from patreon

Rule of thumb is the emotional intent of the song, second clean it up after with an eq accordingly. Make sure to experiment with convolution reverb to really focus on the intent of the song.

How to set the right amount of decay time on your Reverb

catandbeats post How to set the right amount of decay time on your Reverb from patreon

Use the send knob to set the amount of reverb you like. As a suggestion I would only push the reverb till you can just hear it for the drum room. Don't make it too wet out of the box, can get a little messy, and please do not put in the kick drum.

Hey guys,

The limiter with adjusted gain is really nice for anything transient heavy. Just put it on and shave off the transient.

Sorry for that RX7 did not playback audio. 

On that loudness part, the references I get in for pretty heavy Techno music is now also about -9 lufs and I think that says quit a lot about this song

How you perceive sound is also something you need to take into consideration. I highly suggest headphones if you are in a sub par room and sonarworks.

Hey guys,

This is something I have no experience with as I find it difficult to understand how you can critique something without fixing it. So, I fixed what was critiqued without any filter (no offence intended). Last thing to add to the list, 

put the music in the front and the drums in the back a bit :) (o...
