In this bit, Tom Lord-Alge discusses the creative use of multiple reverb setups for different sections of a song to enhance vocal mixing.
He highlights the flexibility modern DAWs provide, allowing separate reverb chains for verses, choruses, and bridges, even if the initial settings are identical. This approach avoids the need for automation and allows for nuanced control over each section's ambiance.
Tom also shares his strategy for vocal panning and channel management, using specific channels for stereo panning and ensuring clarity and separation between vocal doubles. This technique helps achieve a dynamic and engaging vocal mix, suitable for modern rock and alternative genres.
