Audio Production Level 2 - Reverb and Delay

This course: Audio Production Level 2 - Reverb & Delay is not just another 'tips and tricks' course (although you will also find those here too. ) Instead of giving you pre-determined settings for Reverb and Delay, you learn how the different types of Reverbs and Delay work, and will be able to set up your own ones from scratch, thereby creating any space and/or effect that you want to create, to suit your audio. You are given all the audio tracks used in the demonstrations, and you are also given all the links for the free, legal plugins that I use, in the Course Resources that you can download yourself, making it easy for you to follow every lesson step-by-step.

REVERB & DELAY, LEVEL 2A Lesson-by-Lesson Breakdown of Everything you will Learn on this CourseSection 1: Algorithmic ReverbHere under "Resources" you will find a zip file which contains ALL the resources you will need for the entire course, including diagrams, WAVs and links to the legal free Plugins usedLecture 1 Introduction to Algorithmic ReverbAn overview of what you will learn in this section of the course, a look at the reverb plugins you will be learning about, the pros and cons of simple and complicated Algorithmic Reverbs, and how to use both types with confidence and understanding. Lecture 2 Reverb ParametersThe controls found on an algorithmic reverb, a diagram explaining the reverb stages, a detailed explanation of each control on the plugin, setting up the plugin to a flat setting, how to create a preset, demonstrating the different controls. Lecture 3 Reverb in ActionA demonstration of the Reverb in action on the vocal, reverb giving a sense of space, changing the size of the space, the level of the late reflections, increasing the reverb tail, thickening the reverb using diffuse and early send controls and choosing between the two options, checking the guitar to see if the reverb works with the guitar as well as the vocal, adding modulation and adjusting spin to create movement, checking back with the vocal too, listening back to both the guitar and vocal and adding in the reverb with these settings.

Lecture 4 Space Lite ParametersContinuing to look at Algorithmic Reverbs using Space Lite, a free version of a paid-for plugin, a thorough look around and just a quick demonstration of all the controls on the plugin (as there are so many different controls, and the next video will have in-depth demonstrations), and the differences between the free and paid-for versions. Lecture 5 Space Lite in ActionTwo demonstrations, first using a fairly fast vocal, setting up the Space Lite plugin for a starting point, setting up your own preset, going through all the functions, switching between Reverb on and off to hear the difference and sitting it into the whole mix. Demonstrating a different Space Lite Mode on a slower vocal, using different settings to make the Reverb stand out, switching between Reverb on and off.

Section 2: Convolution ReverbsLecture 6 IntroductionHow Convolution Reverbs work, what they're called, how they're produced, what effect it has, audio examples of Impulse Responses, the different ways used to produce Impulse Responses, listening to 3 different spaces and the Impulse Responses produced for each space, and the different effects they have on a snare drum hit. Lecture 7 Convology Plugin Overview 1Reminder to download the resources for this lesson, an overview of the Impulse Response section on the Convology XT plugin, how to make your own presets, how to access the 14 Impulse Responses used in this course, what the numbers refer to on each Impulse Response. Lecture 8 Convology Plugin Overview 2The controls available to us on Convology XT and what they are doing, what Impulse Responses are, and what we are doing to them, and how they differ from Algorhythmic Reverbs, overview of the left-hand side controls of Convology, listening how the 'start' control affects the Impulse Response, seeing and listening to what the Attack and Release buttons do to the Impulse Response, and what the Hold button does, the Frequency section, what it does and how it works, The IR settings section, what it does and how it works, the Scale section, listening to how these controls work and how they affect the audio, the Master section and what all the buttons mean.
