Give each part of the spectrum the space it needs.
A single reverb setting can suit the top of a sound and blur its low end. Multiband Reverb splits the signal into four ranges so the bass can stay controlled while the mids and highs carry more space.
Choose a reverb algorithm, timing, damping, width and wet level for each band. Use it as an insert or build a fully wet return.
Set where each reverb band begins and ends.
Move the three crossover points to divide the signal into four bands. Set the boundaries around the source, then decide which ranges should stay close and which should bloom.
The Linkwitz-Riley crossover network is part of the sound. Adjust the split while listening to the full mix, not only to an isolated band.
Choose a different space for every band.
Each band can use one of nine reverb algorithms. A short room can keep the lower mids firm while a wider hall gives the upper range a longer tail.
The four coloured strips link each set of controls to its range in the spectrum, so a complex setup remains easy to read.
Control decay, pre-delay, width and damping per band.
Pre-Delay separates the dry attack from the reverb. Size and Decay shape the space and its length. Damping controls how the tail loses brightness, and Width sets its stereo spread.
Every band also has its own Dry/Wet control. Add only as much reverb as that frequency range needs.
Solo each band and make decisions in context.
Solo a band to hear its reverb, make the adjustment, then return to the full signal. The band switches and level controls make small changes easier to judge without losing the larger mix decision.
For a conventional send return, enable reverb in every band and set all four Dry/Wet controls to 100 percent.
