How do you create reverb?

- Your Kick Drum and Bass Guitar should be 100% dry.
- Use more reverb on the toms and cymbals than the snare.
- Use enough to push guitars and keyboard behind the vocals and near the snare in depth.
How much reverb should I use on vocals?
Move the pre-delay to about 30-40% or so as a starting point and see how it sounds. With your EQ, maybe set the high-pass around 200Hz and the low-pass at about 12kHz. In a situation like this, you may want to have more body in the reverb. The following example shows a dual-reverb setup.
