SOVL Report: My 'dirty little secret' for better sounding reverbs

There's this little-known thing called sound design. Hardly anybody is talking about it when it comes to mixing.

What's up Forum,

There's this little-known thing called sound design. Hardly anybody is talking about it when it comes to mixing. But when you learn it and use it, you'll see a huge difference in your productions and how fast you can get better-sounding mixes.

Im big on 'using what you've got to get what you want', so I've been looking for a way to get some 'warmer' or different sounding reverbs going on the Force.

The Akai reverbs are great and everything..

But they are very 'one dimensional'

This is when it’s time to use...

I think one of the most versatile delays that Akai/AIR has provided is the Diff(fusion) delay...

The cool thing about this delay is that it has the ability to diffuse each 'tap' into the adjacent taps resulting in a more blended sound of the delay.
