@@HelpMeDevvon he's spot on! There's so many "right" ways to produce that it just gets confusing learning from multiple people. I Don't think any youtube producers can compete with your teaching style. EX: When I see other producers do a plugin tutorial, they just tell you what you could literally read on the plugin manual.

Not only are you an insanely creative artist and producer, but your the reason thousands of independent artists like myself can perfect our craft in our bedrooms thanks to your basically free college recording education. 6 months ago I had 1 song out with only 2,000 plays over a few months (68 monthly spotify listeners, Flash forward to today I have 21 songs released (a few singles and an album, over 200k streams) and I am 30 people away from 10K monthly listeners on spotify.

@@specimen4817 use a reverb send instead of putting the reverb directly on the vocal track. Then you’re dry vocal is untouched. You can mix in as much reverb as you want and you can effect it with compression and eq without messing with your vocal
Thank you! I’m not very experienced and couldn’t seem to get my reverb to sound the way I wanted to. This video helped a lot and now I love the way my mix is sounding!
Devvon you have such an amazing gift of teaching. You give us guidance while encouraging us to have confident to approach the technicality of how to apply things. For what you've provided to the music community in all aspects of production, engineering or sound design etc is beyond your passion to even share it with us. Thank you so much for all you do. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Blessings.
Thanks Devvon for doing this, I'm am someone who is well educated in Audio Engineering, but have never heard anyone academically or professionally break down calculating reverb times quite like this. This was extremely helpful as your videos and tutorials usually are, even for someone like me who has already invested so much in my education. You are greatly appreciated in the space, and I can only imagine just how much you've already help those who are or were beginners, your workflows and techniques are extremely helpful, always well explained, and just plain spot on. Thanks again for paying it forward. I look forward to grabbing a few of your presets as well.
bro i've been producing for 10 years but i have seriously learned more about improving my production just in the last few months since i've found your channel. much love!
Appreciate this tutorial! I’m a writer/producer with a little of engineering experience, I’ve been stuck at home recording music so your tutorials have been phenomenal in helping me!
Extremely helpful! I went from average mixes to industry standard mixes by watching you learning from your techniques and of course putting my own spin on things and creating something that ultimately work best for me thank you so much for your hard work you put into the channel changing the mixes for the future!!
I'm not sure if you read comments, especially on a older video but going from listening to Coast 2 Coast 10s of 1,000s of times, now im starting to produce and I look for a reverb tutorial and I see you run this channel now. This is amazing man, very rare occurrence where someone that inspired me is now teaching me.
You are a significantly better teacher than any of my instructors in recording school. It was a cool experience, but I've legitimately learned more from you. Thank you Devvon!! (Also, longtime fan of yours. Your project "Coast 2 Coast" with Futuristic was huge among my friend group.)
Dope tutorial I usually just move my decay and predelay until it sounds good and right with the track. Also no mention of sidechaining reverb? That saved my mixes tremendously
I also use ducking sometimes too just to get the vocal sitting upfront and sounding slightly washed out....I'm getting addicted to your channel. The information here is priceless big ups✌✌
They taught us this at the Conservatory of Recording Arts in 2011. Great video once again, I usually just adjust the decay to taste, but then again I also kinda do math in my head and I usually come relatively close to getting a whole note or a or a triplet which is still in time.
Thank man....you relieved me from my stress all time...I'm an independent artist trying to mix and master me self....love you buddy from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
@@HelpMeDevvon it'll also make more sense if you spoke in terms of 8th, 16th and 32nd when referring to delay. It helps to see it musically. That 50ms is a 32nd delay.
Great Video and Explanation! BTW: In Live you can just select 1 Bar in the Arrangement and it tells you exectly how long it is (in ms) in the Status Bar below the Detail View.
This kinda blew my mind. Glad I found this. I feel this can apply everywhere. Like, why not have those numbers apply to attack and release in compression as well? Right?!? Keep everything divisible by the bpm in ms to hide the changes within the beat. Thanks bruh
yooo...the H-Delay trick is the fukn sauce!! good call, thank you for sharing this!! i have learned so much from you bro, VERY grateful and appreciative. got all your vocal template tutorials saved which really helped me find my sound i like....thank you for HELPING ME DEVVON!!
to make things faster, that time that you get first, i.e. 394, is basically one beat or a quarter note. Just multiply by 4 for 4 beats in a bar, now that's of course if you're in a 4/4 bar count. I do like the delay trick though, definitely will clean up my reverbs better. The pre-delay can be calculated by how quickly you want it to start. So basically 1/8th beat is what you're currently working with. Just divide by how quickly you want, i.e 16, 8, 4, 2, whatever time you're looking for. Also, I would be careful with using bpm because of the fact that sometimes people will sing in half time that a beat is showing or even double time. At that point, the BPM of the song is a reference, and just play with the time that you're working with. Time signature will also help a TON! Normally we do work in 4/4 time so the math on this is definitely simplified.
Slight correction: 60,000 doesn't represent beats. There's 60,000 milliseconds in a minute. You divide that with BPM to get beats/millisecond. And that information is necessary for all time effects in your mix! Thank Devvon for your awesome tuts!
Just want to say Big thanks boss, dont know where id be without you and your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge and not beeing greedy. Best of regards to you my man, thanks again!
Great tip, as usual, Dev. I saw the original video and I've been using this technique ever since. Thanks for the update. If you've been writing and producing music for some time, you come to realize that math is a key component in sound and music. I use math regularly.
Or you can just put a compressor/limiter on reverb channel (the last one in the chain). Then side chain the vocal track to it. Then set up the compressor to "duck the reverb while the vocals are on. Simple. Fast. Effective.
Get this vocal chain on my site! www.helpmedevvon.info
Beautiful Video!
@Courage Munyanyi Hey try for sonar work reference plugin.
Which one is it on th site?
He's the only mentor you'll ever need. Everything else is creative expression. As far as technique is concerned. This is your man!!!
Wow I really appreciate it!

I most definitely agree with you to the utmost.
how does he add the reverb without it messing with the actual vocal sound?
@@specimen4817 use a reverb send instead of putting the reverb directly on the vocal track. Then you’re dry vocal is untouched. You can mix in as much reverb as you want and you can effect it with compression and eq without messing with your vocal
Bro as someone with really bad adhd, the way you talk really helps me. Emphasizing the words keeps bringing my attention back.
Every time he says “Stay with me!” I feel like I understand the concept more lmao
Great teacher !
This noticeably cleared up my Vocals and gave a sense of space with reverb I was looking for... MATH DONT LIE!!
This reverb tutorial has changed my life forever and I’m really grateful to you Devon
Great video. You are really good at explaining things. Math is not my strong point, but you made this make perfect sense. Definitely subbing.
Thank you! I’m not very experienced and couldn’t seem to get my reverb to sound the way I wanted to. This video helped a lot and now I love the way my mix is sounding!

That compression video you did taught me alot. And very easy to understand. Preciate it my g
One of my Top Teachers For Audio Engineering in FL Studio 20
I made a google sheet for this I been trying to perfect - so revisited this video - thank you for taking your time to explain this
bro i've been producing for 10 years but i have seriously learned more about improving my production just in the last few months since i've found your channel. much love!
so much value and its free, unebelievable

Bro this is dope the details and everything…..THANKYOU
This man giving out the Cheat codes.
Thank you for teaching us the importance of different knobs
Best delay coverage I’ve ever seen

love the new cinematic setup!
I love your songs, beside being a pro engineer you're a great musician. Love from Nigeria✌
for a quick way to get faster result you can make 7500 divide by the Tempo of the song to find the Predelay easier..
Where does 7500 come from tho?
Dope tutorial I usually just move my decay and predelay until it sounds good and right with the track. Also no mention of sidechaining reverb? That saved my mixes tremendously
Thank you for revealing this technique,I'm from Tanzania
Honestly ever time I watch any of your videos its feels like christmas😆🙌🏾 you are giving out gifts man thankyou🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾bless
Wow! This was a must remake from that old video! Thanks Devvon!

please can you make a mixing tutorial on your song "too expensive", i love the space fx (and the song too).
Say less I gotcha!
@@HelpMeDevvon it'll also make more sense if you spoke in terms of 8th, 16th and 32nd when referring to delay. It helps to see it musically. That 50ms is a 32nd delay.
Wow. Am from Nigeria. Your Tutorials change my carer as a Sound engineer. Thank You so much.
Great Video and Explanation! BTW: In Live you can just select 1 Bar in the Arrangement and it tells you exectly how long it is (in ms) in the Status Bar below the Detail View.
You, my friend, are simply amazing. Like, this video has done for me what I couldn't in 3 years.
Thank you bro! Math in this topic really helped me!
This is the best video explaining this on youtube
Excellent tutorial Devvon.. You are one smart dude man.. Thanks for all your help bro..
This kinda blew my mind. Glad I found this. I feel this can apply everywhere. Like, why not have those numbers apply to attack and release in compression as well? Right?!? Keep everything divisible by the bpm in ms to hide the changes within the beat. Thanks bruh
Thank you for sharing this technic
Your Song from this Tutorial is fire 🔥
✌🏼
The app Echo Control is also amazing for this. You put in your BPM and it shows you the timing from 1 bar down to 1/128 notes.
is it on the app store?

We'll just have to revisit this topic again in few years when the third video comes out lol
@Devvon; Thank You for this. Very helpful #Salute
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I really appreciate.
Hey, this seems to be a great way to find this for Reverb and Pre-deley.
Really great advice for beginners who want to know how to make it a bit more tasty then by himself ))
Wow this reverb technique is very helpful to me
Thank you and May God bless you with more knowledge.
great technical break downs ….clear …concise
Wow total respect bro. You just change my game brother.
bro this was absolutely helpful thanks for everything your doing
Some reverbs like 7th heaven from liquisonics have bpm sync. Very handy to not calculate anymore
Videos are always so helpful for my mixes! I love using the Flowers and Roses for sure on most of my songs.
as usual ,,superbly explained Devon !!
I am grateful you exist fr fr
If your in FL Studio you can copy your bpm and paste it if you didn’t know and you don’t have that delay
I swear u da best u and wavy Wayne are my go to guys
Your mixing template and vocal preset is dope I m learning a lot from it
Fantastic 💐❤️💐
I was waiting for this since ages 😃
Always appreciate your content. I even purchased a vocal chain a few yes ago and I still use it!
KEEP GOIN!!
Devvon best of best teacher on TH-cam
Just want to say Big thanks boss, dont know where id be without you and your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge and not beeing greedy. Best of regards to you my man, thanks again!
If you have an IOS device there is a nice app that can perform these calculations by note length by entering the BPM. It is called Audiofile Calc
Bro your videos are great thanks for all the info.
I spent an hour and half trying my way. Great tip once you started the math I got it right away. Good look bro!
This was so helpful. I mixed one of my songs before and after doing this and there is a noticeable improvement. Thanks

I do this in my videos hopefully that helps
I see you bro... the Key light is a nice touch to the setup for vlogs... #respect
Thank you so much my brother it's the best for me 💗
best reverb tutorial on youtube!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! Does this method work with instruments (ex. Snare) as well?
thank you !! you’re a real help please never stop doing this
You always come through 💪🏾 thanks for sharing the knowledge. Definitely have to watch again and take notes.
Superb Teacher!Great Sound Engineer and an amazing artist!Thankyou for helping us out!:)
Dope video bro, I use Mix Meister to calculate the track time, and delay time calculator in order to find the times.
Este video y la forma en que lo explica es oro puro!
you're great bro! love from germany
Can you do a video on how to mix the Kick with the 808?
Dope stuff! Do you have a video showing us how to apply reverb on snares
Thanks Devon. You helped me
Great vibe bro, subbed!
Thank you....you helped me Devvon
This really helped me with an element of mixing that I never really knew about or thought was important! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your content - its truly valuable!!! Where do you you get all this lessons? its must take a lot of time and music phassion .
What was different in the older video? I dnt notice anything different
