@@ryanmccann2539 Ok, now we're officially friends. Timing pre-delay is ultra-ninja, but oh-so-fun. Especially if you subtract that from your overall reverb time to keep it lining up with the measure. #nerdzone

Do you have a social media platform where you mentor people in Sound Engineering or at least a group where Sound Engineers can apply what they learn from you, post their works for people to listen and help to analyse? I think that would also help a lot too you know. 😎
Hmm...hadn't thought about EQ'ing the FX send...I've EQ'd the return for a long time but never thought about the send...I'll have to play with that. Thanks for the idea! Good stuff here.
This is very interesting, nice video. I was wondering about Metallica's Seattle 89 concert, and how that reverb is so powerful. Would be cool to see a video breaking that down!
I work with sound in multiple contexts: live sound for church, for church live stream, live sound for a cover band (while playing keys/singing), and for recording/production with my own songs. Your methodology/approach in your videos has made things clear which I've wondered about for years. I've certainly seen people apply them, but rather than just giving narrow tips, you give clear and simple explanations/rationale for why you do them, which removes the arbitrary nature of so much advice and helps it "stick." You clearly have a depth of experience and expertise along with a gift for teaching to make complicated concepts simple. Of course, your sense of humor rocks. Thank you, James!
Can you suggest a economically affordable device to add delay and reverb to live singing. I'm not looking for a high end device although something decent
Great video and a Great teacher. I run the soundboard at my church. We are using the Allen and Heath GLD 112. It is new to me. How do I put reverb on my vocals? I found the manuel online, but it doesn't cover very much at all. Thanks in advance.
I need help! I have an allen and heath SQ-7 and I haven't found a good effect for vocals and instruments, for example I really like the plate reverb effect of the Yamaha M7CL consoles, I have been trying different effects on the SQ-7 and I haven't found any of them to my liking. I would be very grateful if you could help me
I'm assuming you've tried different patches from the library. Have you gone into the expert settings and played around with those? Many more controls than on first glance
Ha! Context is everything 😂 it’s talking about Jesus cleansing Christians from all unrighteousness, the filth of sin and shame. Glad you’re liking the tips!
Can you reccomend a good starter mixer for beginners? Main focus being vocals, reverb, echo, etc. I just bought a great mixer but very limited with vocals. Returning it.
Thanks for the great Tips Brother Attaway Audio I has hard time with control the TC-Electric M3000 Effect And Yamaha SPX-2000 i never get them correctly Reverb would You help
They have different textures and early reflection times, but try turning off your "thinking brain" and turning on your "feeling brain" while you're playing with the parameters. That way you'll learn the feeling and get better at articulating what you're after.
Noob question here: How are you doing Vocal + Verb? Do you have the reverbed vocal on one channel, and you mix it with the pure vocal from another one? Is this possible on a strictly analog mixer like the Allen & Heath ZED-12FX 12-Channel Mixer -- or would we need a digital board? With analog, would we have to split the audio signal and bring it in on two channels?
Yes- you have to send to the reverb via an Aux send and then return it on a pair of channels- either an aux return or (my fav) a pair of input channels.
Hey James I have a question. If you’re in a room with an uncaged drummer and vocal mics not super far away from the drum kit, would you avoid delays altogether? Because I have a killer vocal reverb-delay on my vocalists but sometimes when they step away from the mic (singer/guitarist jamming chords between vocal phrases) the hi-hats and snare drum can sometimes bleed and get delayed and cause issues. Just curious to know your philosophy about vocal effects in that context.
That's a tough one. You definitely don't want to add distractions from drums coming through the vocal delay. Have you considered an optical gate to put on the vocal mic? That would automatically "close" the mic when the singer backs up and open it again when they're in front of the mic.
@@AttawayAudio No, because I didn’t know an optical gate was a thing until this very moment. You learn something every day! Thanks! Yeah as you know, it’s fine when the singer is in front of the mic their body blocks the high frequencies big time and it’s not an issue. I deal with rock music mostly where the singers play guitar and the band moved around a lot.
Dear Sir, I need to know l that when we use AUX sends to stage monitors, should we use TS (mono) or TRS ( stereo) quarter inch jack? Is AUX send is a mono or stereo output??
Aux sends are mono, but it's a balanced connection, so you'll want to use a TRS cable from the console to the amplifier, and then whatever speaker cable you have (TS, Neutrik Speakon, whatever) from the amp to the monitor wedge
I am clearly unable to distinguish the difference between pre delay sound. Because I can hear a man's voice The noise interfered greatly with my listening.
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the time and humor you put into your teaching and video presentation. I’ve been in live sound for about 25 years and had become jaded to the process. I made a change in my thought process and you have really helped me in that journey. Looking forward to more videos to come. Thanks for serving the Kingdom
Wendall - thanks for this comment. I'm really glad I could help with the jaded-ness and help you reset. I'm definitely doing this for the Kingdom of Heaven... and I'll definitely come back to your comment when the trolls come out.
We don't have time for sound checks between church's changing out. They get done 10:15 we start at 11:00. Should we all come in when building empty and set gains and just put them in a scene?
We’re trying to turn tempo into seconds, and if a “beat” is a quarter note, and there are 4 quarter notes in a whole note, we multiply 60x4 to get 240.
Yes Big Brother Attaway Audio it's really hard for me setting Reverb and Delay together for the Vocal Correction I really need Help Big Time Brother Thanks again for Help
This video has been really helpful I started mixing at my church fairly recently and just got into messing around with our reverb settings I don’t know too much about reverb for vocals because most of my mixing experiences from football broadcasts where he won basically zero on everything and you’ve really helped me bring our services to the next level

What was your favorite reverb tip? Comment below to let me know!
I find that using a pre-delay of about 1/32nd based on the BPM gets me about where I need to be.

Favorite tip was EQ'ing the reverb
i love how focused he is and how hes always singing along with his mouth

Depends a lot on your budget, what you need for monitoring, and how portable you need it to be.

I don't have those available to show you but they are good fx units.
What type of reverb did you use?
3.3 😍
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Any advice on types of reverb? Were using a vintage reverb but should I be using more of a plate reverb?

I use similar EQ on reverb... but always put it after the reverb plugin... 🙄 Dying to try it the other way round :) Thanks !
Great tutorials... the complicated - made simple - by the wise. Thank you!
Great job on this video! I have been in studios for 40 years and never seen anyone explain so much correctly in such a short time!

just subbed. best video on youtube for live vocal mixing with reverb. trust me i searched.
Wow, thanks! That means a lot Victoria!
SOOOOO HELPFUL! Just what I need to share with my sound engineer. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Man, what a great vocal. She has some range.
Isn’t she great? I’ve gotten to work with her a bunch over the years. Phenomenal songwriter too.
Can someone help what the difference between vocal &verb and only verb is??
Thanks Jake!
what exactly is 240 is that a fix number to divide the tempo
We’re trying to turn tempo into seconds, and if a “beat” is a quarter note, and there are 4 quarter notes in a whole note, we multiply 60x4 to get 240.

Thank you, Ray Romano.
But I still think you can't time a non-gated reverb. That's a placebo thing.
When you say whole note do you mean a whole bar?
yes sir
Great format and tips. As a live vocalist who has to tweak everything, I am loving these ♥️
Thanks Ahmed! So glad it’s helpful for your reverb addiction 😂
Hello Sir. I found you because I am looking for this sound. How can I get a personal Tutorial with you?
