Help out with that technique please

Hey guys! Was watching through Deadmau5 Ustream studio session videos and pretty much liked this one. Was wondering how he achieved that gated reverb sound in his first track. Also, have both the tracks he was working on been ever released?

lfo tool on reverb send.

Maybe a bit more in-depth explanation? That is how exactly should I use reverb send?


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Oct-03-2012 16:20:

the reverb is being manipulated in a rhythmic way. LFO tool is doing this on the reverb. Send rather than insert so you can send other channels if you want.


Posted by Microlab on Oct-03-2012 16:25:

LFO is built in reverb plugin? What if it is not? And can I sidechain this signal?

come one man. Do some leg work.

That was really boring to watch but kind of interesting at the same time I can relate to the "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT" sentiment but yeah the process of making EDM is so fucking lame


this guy is super twitchy and actually rodent-like, it's weird





another thing did he design those beats or are those from a loop pack somewhere

he designed them.

Have you never played around with your group fx/ send fx/ (whatever you'd like to call them) tracks?

Do you set up a master reverb and send varying amounts of various instruments into it? Your DAW should allow you to do whatever you want with that reverb - EQ it, add chorus/ phasing, and yes, automate the level - either by drawing in automation or by using a sidechain compressor or probably a whole number of other ways.

It could be he is just switching thru different reverbs some of which sound reversed and more like echo chambers - I always do this and get exactly those sorts of changes whilst rolling through which verb to use / editing verb parameters.

nope. he is doing what i said he was doing.

I've heard that many many times when flicking through verb presets and adjusting thier parameters. I cannot say for sure as I wasn't sitting on his lap.

name one plugin that could actually switch reverb type without generating noticeable discontinuities. It is simple rhythmic modulation on the reverb source. LFO tool would do this. Xfer is run by Dudda. It is a good chance he is also using it. I feel like you are grasping for a solution but haven't really thought it out or tried it.

Reverence in the last version of Cubase 5 does exactly this. Even adjusting parameters such as time and pre - delay results in just smooth transitions.

I was doing it last night and it sounds very similar to what Joel is doing there.

Listen, I'm not arrogant enough to suggest I'm 100% right, but I'm reasonably confident.

I knew all about lfo tool before you explained it, and yes it's possible it could be that.

Just sounds like the instrument is going into a send with a nifty reverb (well-timed pre-delay) which is then routed into a delay. It sounds nice.

I meant changing algorithms or presets.

Thats exactly what I was doing. Perhaps Cubase is better than I rated it!


Posted by Looney4Clooney on Oct-05-2012 17:08:

reverence has 1 algorithm. It also doesn't have the control needed to do what is happening ie a rhythmic modulation on the reverb. It is rather simple and lfo tool is the most effective way to do it. You could also use it to send midi data to control parameters but this isn't what is happening.

I think you bring up a useful technique but the one tool that makes this so much easier is lfo tool or cableguys midi. It allows you to use global envelopes instead of creating custom automation every single time you want to do something.
