What kind of reverb do you use for general ambiance? Would you ever want to use a plate for this?

I might use a short plate, but, and I'm no expert on the subject, when I think ambience I think of very tight spaces - small rooms, car interiors, some drum rooms, some of the outdoor spaces (there's a forest IR in Altiverb that I love).

On the bassdrum - nothing. The rest are samples of breaking glass and the sound of the metro in tone 2´s filterbank 3.

Nothing?!?! That's it - I'll be late for breakfast as I'll be staying overnight up on Teufelsberg, recording stuff...

I´m not sure, we recorded several drum hits, hitting the bolt against the panels.

Re: Small ammounts of reverb is the trick, unless for soundscape, overusing reverb sounds horrible!

I like to spread the reverb all over my speaker cones and lick it off real slow while the bass kicks my tongue.
