Panning reverbs...

[kinger]

I've been playing around with returning all my reverbs (mostly springs) in mono dead up the centre and have been kind of digging the feel it gives some mixes. It seems to make hard-panned instruments a bit less muddy and lends a sort of vintage sound to the mixes. I'm just curious about other people's reverb panning thoughts/techniques. I'm also curious about other people's personal hygiene, but that might be rude to ask.

lately i've been using two reverbs (plugins). i'll use a stereo mid-size room buss to glue things together a bit and send each sub group to it at varying levels. then i've added a mono plate, and sending only a couple individual tracks or the drum or vocal group to it. definitely going for a sort of vintage feel, but you know.... i am working on a laptop.

dont feel rude... i've recently cut my hair short, keep my beard trimmed, shower more often, and have reinstated deodorant. i am recently single, of course!

I just got out of the shower (having recently returned from the health club), but since it's Sunday I did not shave.

I don't shave on sunday's either. But I do take the time to trim my nails on my fretting hand.

Shaving is a once a week habit.

I love a nice clean shave, and I find that it usually goes better when I have a couple days of scruff to work with. The electric shaver gets me by about half the time.

Oh, and I've had a great time panning the reverb opposite the dry signal since being reminded about it in a post last week. Next experiment is centering reverb on a whole mix!

Shaving is a twice a year habit.

If nothing else, this forum has made me feel better about my own personal grooming...

[apropos of nothing]

I only ever apply reverb to a single element in any given mix. It embigifies!

I qquit my job awhile ago, and boy has the hygiene gone to hell. I try and look and smell fresh when I show up in public though.

I do the global-reverb-to-glue thing (stereo), and I like to use the occasional plate patch on vocals, always stereo.

The only near-reverb mono thing I do is delay, typically slap-back.

But then, I hate mono mixes, and although working with "panned mono" as most of us do, I always try to convey a sort of left to right soundstage, often with motion.

I do sometimes like to put more of the delay, or reverb, on the opposite side, though.

Man, sometimes I can go 4-5 days sans a shower... I suppose thats a bad thing... But the girlfriend has been gone for about a month...

sick... ha!

I make my own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It's cheap, works just as well as commercial brands and doesn't have harsh chemicals in it. I usually shower everyday because I usually workout everyday and get real sweaty. Sometimes I take them extremely cold. Oh yeah, no deoderent either. Brush my teeth everyday, but with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. I made some skin/hand sanitizer also. Commercial brands too much chemicals in their products...

Sometime with vocals I like the reverb to go straight up the middle, with drums I usually like em panned. Then again it all depends on whats going on in the mix.

WOW!
Now that's ambitious.
I'm proud when I make my own lunch!

I smell a TapeOp Con workshop.
