If you
are a home-musician,and you most likely are because you read this,it
is great chance that your drum track is just that-one track which
contains everything:kick,snare,cymbals crashes toms.So you can't
apply reverb on kick drum or snare individually but in whole drum
mix at once.That often lead to situation that you find patch that
sound great except for kick which after reverberation loses definition
and becomes smeary and unclear.So if this is case don't hesitate
to look in many options that today's VST plugins offer to us.Often
there is EQ section which allow us to define frequency range on
which reverb is aplyed.If VST reverb you are using has some like
that,than you can cut low frequencies,and let reverb do its job
just for frequencies above ,to say 80Hz,120Hz or what works best
in particular case.
But! If your reverb don't have EQ control you can
do the following:
Duplicate your drum track and on copy use parametric
EQ (other plugin or sequencer's built-in ) and cut low frequencies,than
apply reverb on that track only.You can experiment with reverb mix/dry
and individual volumes of two drum tracks,even can pan reverb to
left or right!Experiment! |
