how to have a consistent reverb type?
i know it's often recommended to have different levels of reverb for different instruments/tracks, but i notice that oftentimes an instrument will have a built in reverb knob for instance that differs in type from say, the master reverb track, so i'm wondering how you guys tend to have several instruments reverbed while having them actually 'match' in Ableton? i hear a lot about 'bussing' too although i'm not sure where to find that feature here yet.

You use return tracks: https://www.ableton.com/en/live-manual/ ... main-track
Put a reverb there at 100% wet and then use each channel "send" control to stream to audio signal to the "return" track where the reverb is, this way you can put several instruments under the same reverb and in different amounts.
And turn off the included instrument reverb, that will normally clash with the rest of your track.
