This was a great tutorial. One thing of note: your audio example is perfect for old guys like me who need to be able to hear differences and contrasts. I find so many tutorials use complex or distorted examples that are almost impossible to follow. Nathan, you are an awesome educator!
Use two separate sends a short verb and a hall verb. Automate the volume of the sends. Go word by word the long for gaps the short for volume where your vocal kind of sounds like a lack of energy.
Great video, i personally love Raum, for me one of the most useful reverb… I put before the reverb and compression a delay with low feedback (2 or 3 repetition) so you reduce a little the decay of reverb but preserve a long diffusion and takes a sense of “freeze the words” 😀
high cut to take off sibilants? it works with super dark reverbs but if you turn down from 12k to 10k you're still getting most of the sibilants. some singers will have some of their S's at just above 3k. you can either go to roll off basically everything until the verb is just mids and lows, or you should just cut sibilants from the throw (if you already have the lead sing that same part no need to double that up)
Wow Nat! What a great technique all in 3 fantastic tips, thank you so much, will be using this for defo from now on. Hope mum and baby are doing well and you are getting some sleep.
Great video! You are very straight to the point and highlight all of the important things rather than the fluff. I'm use these concepts all the time but sometimes like watching videos about it just to see if it sparks new thoughts about how to use it. This is great cause you show how to use things in a musical/subtle way.
New subscriber here. Just want to say thank you. Your breakdowns are incredible! What I appreciate the most (from what I’ve seen so far) is how you’ve highlighted what I wish I knew when I started out, and what is and is not worth spending on to start! Hats off ! Now I gotta go back thru your channel and learn more ! 😸. By the way.. how else can I support you (besides liking and sharing) ? I will be very interested in your course once I get better !
That's awesome, Jason! Thanks! As far as supporting me - honestly, just watch the channel and share it along! When you're ready to leap into my program - that's definitely the best place to learn fast without a doubt. I will say, I have a lot of beginners in the course who're crushing it so don't feel like you can't jump in just cause you're a beginner! Either way - happy to read this comment, my man!
You are incredibly underrated my good sir. Fantastic video! 70.8K subs is still a lot, but nowhere near where you deserve [and I'm sure one day will] be! Succinct explanations, great tips, beautiful work.
On point as usual Nathan, these rev tricks are invaluable for any producer. And in this demonstration the track used is PERFECT 👌 (I’d remix this for sure...just saying 😉). Are you also using REPLIKA?? It’s insane btw. Thanks for sharing...bows.
Love your videos man. Your videos (along with other TH-camrs’) have helped me improve my production plus inspired a plethora of new ideas. I like your emphasis on teaching concepts and possible applications as opposed to simply teaching how to do it with little to no explanation of why and when to do it (which I’ve found is a problem with some music production TH-camrs). You have such a great teaching style, and your skills undoubtedly back up what you’re teaching (that track sounds killer, man!). I’ve been thinking I need to finally purchase a course on production and mixing as my learning has begun to stagnate a bit while solely relying on TH-cam videos and my own personal experimentation, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to pull the trigger on your course. You just have such a good vibe about you, and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed by it given the quality of your free videos here on TH-cam. I doubt you’ll see this comment haha, but on the off-chance you do, thanks for all you do. Stay you, stay awesome 🙌🏻
Hey Noah! I read all my comments :) This is just so heart warming to read. I love that you've caught on that I focus on principles - I saw the EXACT same problem with others just show HOW by not WHY or WHEN! So I love that -- thanks for sharing! Would love to have you in the program - it's a great program and an amazing community
I suck at singing but I’m good at talk/singing over music (just like everyone else lol) how do I make the best out of that to kinda sound the best that I can?
Reverb definitely needs to used more moderately in that case but listen to tracks you want to model after and keenly listen to what things they're doing and work to model after it. Getting great source (recording) and great performance is definitely the most important elements. Then EQ and Compression
@@NathanJamesLarsen tyvm love the quick replies with actual thorough answers you’re like the biggest help in my music journey so far so thank you these are very very helpful
Like I said - you can do that this is just the easy way and in many cases if you don't have as much space between the line you want to throw and the next one, it can be problematic cause then you have to duck the automation down which might not sound good - and often doesn't
@@NathanJamesLarsen very clear...I wanted to know indeed when to prefer this option over automation and I better understand now that reverting to the initial position may be quite tricky when the next phrase is fast. Thanks again. Please keep up your amazing work, we love it !
I’m gonna nit pick a bit. First off I love your videos. Bring tons of value to all of us with everyone you put out. So this is a small thing that is bugging me about most youtubers but yours is the first that I’m calling out cause I care. There are three words that youtubers have a tendency to over use. I’m just gonna list them. Actually, actual, basically. I think these words are appealing because in a world so beaten and tattered by advertising culture you have to sort of cut through the noise with “actually” almost as if to say this is not an ad but the truth. Not a manipulation to get you to buy but what is really going on. So yeah I get it. Way overused. Better to just leave it out in my opinion. Whatever that’s worth. Watch others out on TH-cam. I love VFX artist react videos but they do it a ton. There are some others that I can’t remember because I just turned them off because of the word overload. Just trying to help. Love the channel.
how can I put reverb on the videos which I made on the phone? is there a trick how I can film and record at the same time and already have the reverb effect?
You control the volume of the reverb with the fader. So if you're doing it right then it won't be overwhelming. Point of having mix go 100% is because it's on a bus and not on the actual vocal channel strip - so you control volume of the reverb on the bus - not within the reverb itself.
Nathan: Uses Logic pro X
Also nathan: "Cmd + D if you're on a mac"
😂🔥
I was literally about to type that
This was a great tutorial. One thing of note: your audio example is perfect for old guys like me who need to be able to hear differences and contrasts. I find so many tutorials use complex or distorted examples that are almost impossible to follow. Nathan, you are an awesome educator!
Use two separate sends a short verb and a hall verb. Automate the volume of the sends. Go word by word the long for gaps the short for volume where your vocal kind of sounds like a lack of energy.
+1: combinating the 2nd and 3rd ones: sidechaining a high shelf dynamic eq can be working as well if you want more ‘articulation’ with the reverb
Thankyou for making these videos. They are so helpful Nathan. I Appreciate all of them
For sure, Ben ! Happy to do it!

Thanks NJL. A lot of valuable info here to absorb.
dude, i love you lmaoo. Excellent guide!! Thank you for this playlist
When sidechaning, i dial of some dry signal to make it smooth. Great video thanks
Your channel is exactly what I needed to find. Thank you so much!
YAY! Thank sso much and happy to have ya!
You were predestined to be different(Romans 8:29), he who has an ear to hear, let him hear(Mark 4:9).
HALLELUYAH!(PRAISE YE YAH!)
EQing/automating reverb will work wonders! Nice tips 👍
Love the throw technique, so much easier than using aux automation.
Yep! You can def automate but I like this better personally
Thank you for the explanation on sidechaining. That was really really great!
the video that started it all!
Great detail! Enjoyed the clarity about how the reverb was working in technique 3!
I love that you use RAUM so underrated! I love Replika too!

clutch brotherrrr
Another excellent vid!! Very helpful, I love it!!
😎😎😎😎😎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Subbed. Where can I hear the finished song?
you the best
Thanks! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥😎😎
Wow Nat! What a great technique all in 3 fantastic tips, thank you so much, will be using this for defo from now on. Hope mum and baby are doing well and you are getting some sleep.
Great tips! But with the sidechain-trick make sure you disable the "auto gain" function on your compressor ;-)
Super useful vid!
Thanks! Happy to hear that!

Love it! Thanks so much! Exactly what I'm hoping to accomplish on the channel!
great tutorial
8:54 removing your face cam and zoom in are the types of edits that not enough people appreciate
I watched every video you had posted and loved it. Easy to understand and very helpful ❤️🙏
Thanks so much 🔥🙌🏻😎
informative, concise, and practical. Good stuff man.

Thank you for this great video, super useful. Do you only use mono reverb on the lead vocals
You are incredibly underrated my good sir. Fantastic video! 70.8K subs is still a lot, but nowhere near where you deserve [and I'm sure one day will] be! Succinct explanations, great tips, beautiful work.
That new studio vibe tho
Mmmmmm tasty
great thx
Love the energy dude, a fat sub from me
Thank u so much !Great
Sure thing! Thanks for checking it!
Another great video, thanks for doing these!
Thanks a ton! 🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻
Are those strings being played by a musician or did you find that somewhere? Either way it sounds incredible.
Sampled strings :) pretty sure I used Native Instruments and also had some Arcade (by Output) too - the delayed cello is arcade
Great tips, Nathan
Thanks Craig!
On point as usual Nathan, these rev tricks are invaluable for any producer. And in this demonstration the track used is PERFECT 👌 (I’d remix this for sure...just saying 😉). Are you also using REPLIKA?? It’s insane btw. Thanks for sharing...bows.
Hey what's up, thank you so much 😊
Hey hey! And yeah for sure!
Amazing, thanks man
🙏🙏😎😎 appreciate it!!
Very helpful!
where we can listen to this song?
you're a genius!
so dope
Nice one mate
Thanks
Where did you get those beautyful violins (maybe cellos)? They sound amazing
I used a lot of native instruments strings but the cello part you're probably referring is from Arcade in Output from their Particles line

Would love to have you in the program - it's a great program and an amazing community
I notice you didn't adjust the level to the send (bus 6) on the channel strip, but left it at like 2/3rds. Any reason for that?
I suck at singing but I’m good at talk/singing over music (just like everyone else lol) how do I make the best out of that to kinda sound the best that I can?
Also how is da baby

@@adrian.a.padilla Love this!
Check Mac Miller vocal sound for example Woods. Really dry, sounds super cool
Very well explained thank you! One question, why copying the track on a separate one for the throw rather than just automating a send ?
Like I said - you can do that this is just the easy way and in many cases if you don't have as much space between the line you want to throw and the next one, it can be problematic cause then you have to duck the automation down which might not sound good - and often doesn't

when will this song be released? it sounds amazing !
Link is in the description of the video!
Awesome! Would you recommend Trackspacer by Wavesfactory instead of the side-chained comp?
Haven't used it, so I don't have an opinion on that!

Who produced this?
&what’s the song? Whoz the singa
Should your sends be mono or stereo?
side chain = automatic automation!! haha
I've done reverb throws similar to this by automating aux sends, is there a benefit to this method over using automation?
how can I put reverb on the videos which I made on the phone? is there a trick how I can film and record at the same time and already have the reverb effect?
What is the name of this track?
Basically you are a huge Barney Stinson fan, just like me
Can't lie, you look like Ben Davies that plays for Tottenham Hotspur lol
The mix doesn't need to be at 100% all the time. Thats how the reverb becomes overwhelming.
You control the volume of the reverb with the fader. So if you're doing it right then it won't be overwhelming. Point of having mix go 100% is because it's on a bus and not on the actual vocal channel strip - so you control volume of the reverb on the bus - not within the reverb itself.
Billie eilish actually uses alit of reverb throws
Yup! 100%
räum costs 49 tho
Ok cool then use something else
FIRST
You were predestined to be different(Romans 8:29), he who has an ear to hear, let him hear(Mark 4:9).
HALLELUYAH!(PRAISE YE YAH!)
beep boop bop boop bee bee boop bop beee bee boo
ken mij nog sneller helpen ik heb maar 1 kans mogen blijven daar na niet meer
you also don't want to use a plugin when it's really making no difference
Me: chromaverb > concert hall > 15-25% on almost everything I do hahahaha
Haha find what you love!
It seems this guy is late for something... His speed talking stresses me out...
Wasn't late - just talk fast. You can turn the speed of the video down though 😉
It would make you sound like Barry White! 😀 ...I might just do that! 🎸
Personal taste. The first reverb vocal throw wasn’t appealing. Good video tho
I use technique 3 every mix for reverbs and delays
What’s the song sounds fabulous !
