basic mixing question

[radiofreeken1]

It's probably a good thing I gave up intoxicants a few years ago, because I should remember this, but after some time away from recording, it don't.

Very basic...

You record multiple tracks, and then you want to run them all through a single reverb unit, to create the image of acoustic "distance" (like, the vocalist is close and the drums are further away, etc.) To control that sense of distance, basically your mixing the flat version with the reverb version. How do you route that in Live? What mixer control ends up controlling the sense of distance?

appreciate any help...

If you want the same amount of reverb for each track, create a new audio track, add a reverb plugin to it, and then route the audio from the other tracks to it (in the Session View, under "Audio To")...

If you want differing amounts of reverb for each track, add a reverb plugin to one of the Returns (they're next to the Master track), and then adjust the amount for each one using the Send knob -- A for Return A, B for Return B, and so on...

Giving up intoxicants, by the way, is not a good thing. They're an integral part of our health and well being.

thanks sanfoin, ahhhh yessss -- the A return with reverb is the wet track, B return is dry (no effect) and you mix to taste using the send controls.

Also if you use a send for the reverb put the wet/dry at 100% wet.. so you'll only be getting reverb from the send..

This is not law though!
