Using Cubase's Stock Reverb Plugins
A detailed tutorial explaining how to use Cubase's stock reverb plugins to create a huge and lush reverb effect.
Effects
Using Cubase’s Stock Reverb Plugins video tutorial covers in-depth the workings of this wonderful effect.
Reverb has always been the main reverb producers reach for their mixes. Creating specific spaces for your music to swim in is accomplished by the use of reverb. Additionally, reverb effects are often used to colour a sound affording it depth and presence. The choice as to what type of reverb topology to use is often government not just by the space the reverb denotes but what instrument sound is being used. Quite often you will hear of people using plates for vocals, halls for master reverb and so on but my recommendation is to try various reverb effects until you have a shortlist of the best type to use for any given situation.

In the Using Cubase’s Stock Reverb Plugins video I use a wonderful folk vocal recording and show you how to create a lush and smooth reverb effect. I explain how Revelation works and how best to use it to achieve different reverb textures.
