5 Panned Reverb Ideas

Method 1

• Send Original to 1 Reverb Panned Fully Left and the Other Panned Fully Right 

– i.e. Basically Apply the Same Large Hall or Plate Reverb but then Change Pre Delay and Room Size (and Some Other Small Things) to Make Them Sound Different

Method 2

• Pan Signal Hard Left or Right (or 45°) and Apply Mono Reverb to the Same Position as the Original

• i.e. Prepare 3 Mono EMT140 Like Plate and Pan them LCR (or 45°), then Assign Instruments / Vocals as Required

Method 3

• Pan Signal Hard Left or Right and Apply Mono Reverb to the Opposite Position as the Original

Method 4

• Send Signal to 1 Stereo Plate and to 1 Mono Plate that has a Longer Decay

– as the Stereo Plate Decays, the Reverb Seems to Tail Off in the Center

Method 5

• Send Any Instrument that is Panned Hard Left also to a Stereo Reverb that is Panned Hard Left (or Viceversa)

– i.e. Keep the Majority of the Reverb on the Left (when Choosing to Pan Hard Left), but Let the Stereo Ambience Move also a Little Back Towards Center 

– Always Prefer First the Same Position as the Original to Manifest from Where the Original Sound is Coming

– or then Alternative the Very Opposite Side which can Give Width / Space

– but Not Send a Hard Panned Instrument to a Stereo Reverb that is Panned to the Center as this Get Fast Washy
