Hello people, This might be a stupid question, but will compression during mastering process affect the mix in a bad way, if there's reverb in the mix? Because we usually add reverb after compression (unless there's specific effect we want to accomplish)Wouldn't it be better to let the mastering engineer add reverb during the final stage?

I started doing what you are say, but i only had just the drums. But after seeing your vid, I think sending most if not all tracks to the reverb would really glue the mix. Good tip!!!!!

I liked it better without. The band was good, everything was together musically, I found separation between the instruments that made it sound a little more jazzy and live than Graham obviously likes, but for this song... whatever, I liked it without.

That it genuinely genius. Now would you put on bass as well even if you want a solid punchy bass?

..which can actually be ok if you want to sound like you are actually inside somebodies head.

Verb on the master ? Nay ! Experimenting with sending some of the tracks.. Yay ! Regarding the sound of verb.. you're probably sick of the common verb sound, the tails, the splashy stuff, the washy stuff.. It might help to rethink of verb as a sense of location or texture, and stray away from the verb set up in tradtional mixdowns. See if you can coax new sounds and ideas out of it. Otherwise, sounds with no sense of space whether from source or added is just one flat in your face layer.

how bout using ER. not tail reverb?

I think it depends heavily on the source material's own reverb, the reverb you use, and the sound you're going for. I find that this trick can help when a bunch of tracks sound disjoint, or like they're not in the same place. I think it's important to go easy on it, too, or using the same verb will make it messy to my ears. Cheers!

my own personal taste, I cant really stand the sound of a reverb on the master, regardless of how i EQ it or how little I apply it. This is just my personal preference & taste. Basically, just want to know am I alone on this? Can't stand reverb ATM. Maybe that will change tomorrow. Anyone else feel this way too?

Could you put together a playlist with all 31 tips to a better mix? Cause I'd like to watch them all in a row, but having trouble tracking them all down. Maybe I'm just dumb, not sure.

You want to be able to control the level of the reverb independent of the master.

I really love how protools is visualising the audio input in the mixer.
