    Reverb is a powerful tool for creating larger-than-life space for your instruments, but too much can clutter up a dense mix with excessive echoes.
    How well do you know your reverb types? Think you can tell them apart?
    In this video, Robert compares 4 commonly used types of reverb and explores how to hear the differences between them.

    Great video! I scored 5/8. You just got my subscription. I would be interested in more of these ear training tests, as well as more compression ear training tests. I've been engineering audio for over a decade and still struggle working through some of the nuances. There are endless videos on how to produce, but few on how to listen. These tests... you're doing good work here. Looking forward to more material to help sharpen my skillset.

    This was great, thanks. I've always just scrolled through reverbs (all of them cheap) and never really knew what I should be listening for. This really helped me open my ears and not click aimlessly.

  • @EdgarRoock

    IMO, it would have been preferable to apply the different reverbs to the same sound in order to work out the differences. I still don't know what is what.

      This guy on the video should distinguish the concept of reverb vs. echo because he doesn't seem to understand the difference.

    Thank you so much for this -- my biggest issue is training my ear for mixing and mastering. I'm great with hearing pitch and rhythm -- I arrange music and I am skilled at melodic/harmonic dictation, but mixing is a new frontier. You've helped me a ton with this video. I hope you make more ear training videos. I got 7 out of 8 correct the first try. Nevertheless, reverb is just the beginning. I still have a long way to go before I can create a great mix.

      More reverb. I'm interested in studying reverb on hip hop and pop r & B all genres. My goal is to listen to a song and reverse engineer it and be able to replicate the reverb used.

    What about chamber? Chamber/hall/room confuse me like "aren't they all just different names for an indoor space aka room?". Plate and spring are totally different technologies for creating the reverb.
    Maybe I need another test with wetter reverbs. In some I was just happy to pick up on the diff between dry and wet, let alone trying to identify the reverb type, lol

    • @LearnAudioEngineering
      @LearnAudioEngineering  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Chambers are usually rooms designed specifically for reverb. Some have a trapezoid shape, others are tiled like a bathroom or pool. One of the studios I interned at was in an old sports club. They converted one of the tiles sauna/shower rooms into a reverb chamber. lots of early reflections.
      The Room setting typically refers to a square room with equal sides and a low ceiling. iirc
      Thanks for your comment! I'm gonna do more on reverb. anything in particular you'd like me to include?? let me know :)

    That was an interesting challenge. I feel pretty good it...I got them all. I play guitar and sing...but I really listen to all music really carefully. Even if I don't particularly like it...I'll focus my listening on some aspect of the production.

      That's a great approach, there's always something new to learn from a song. I find once I learn something in a song, I enjoy it a lot more.

    @heavymetalmixer91 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Reverbs and delays are really hard for me to use, in some way or another they always make my hardworked mix a complete mess in a matter of seconds.
    Yet both are basicaly the FX I like to use the most, maybe because of the nostalgia factor of the 80s and 90s.

    • @LearnAudioEngineering
      @LearnAudioEngineering  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed, less is definitely more with effects I find..
      I haven't experimented too much with other modulation effects yet.

    • @MickeyDs14
      @MickeyDs14 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      heavymetalmixer I was in that same boat. The key, for me, is listening on different speakers to mixes as I do it so I can see how washed out they sound to find a common ground. In my experience, it always helps for me to cut down the Reverb level itself and then cut back on the decay as needed. I feel like decay can stand to be a little long if the Reverb is just enough to be present.

    • @proverbalizer
      @proverbalizer 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let is more, reverb should be something that u notice is missing when u mute it, not something you actively notice. Also try sidechaining reverbs/delays to duck the dry signal. And try eq'out out the lows and highs to make the effects less muddy and thinner so they add space to the mix without taking up too much space in the mix. Send very little (if any) low frequencies to reverb...for example on drums give your snare plenty but your kick just a touch

      You could try a Spring reverb! That would be common in electric organs used in rock or jazz.
