yeah i'm also some trouble with the same sort of thing but with reason.

on the mixer you can adjust the return from 0-127 but if you have it truned to 127 it gets way louder. i have been setting it at 64.

but with the actually reverb unit if you turn the dry/wet up past 64 it starts to delay. i dont want that do i?. i have been setting that also at 64.

does this seem like a good way to have my send/return effects? if someone has a better way i would like to know thanks.

also before it gets lost in this thred; if someone could answer the question i asked in the previous post it would be much appretiated. thanks

Sorry missed that before - there is no right and wrong, but I would say no - don't use the same reverb preset. There are several parameters that influence the particular sound of the reverb preset and the point of having different types of reverb (1xSmall, 1xLarge etc) is to give different sonic qualities to each component to compliment it (i.e. so that drums sound like they are in a tight room, and the big synth stabs sound like they are in a big room etc.). I generally find if you use the same preset, but only adjust the decay time, other the other dynamics/variables of the reverb are not suited to the characteristics of the sound as well as a reverb that has all those parameters tailored to suit it.

Hope you get what I mean??

yes that makes sense thanks. now i'm gonna go try it out

If using reverb as a send effect, the dry/wet should be set to 100% wet, since you control the amount of signal each channel sends to the reverb via each channel's aux send knobs on the mixer. If you were to patch a reverb directly after a synth before it goes into the mixer, then you'd want to balance the amount of direct signal to reverb signal by using the dry/wet knob. It shouldn't be delaying massively - turning the decay knob would cause it to do that. Potentially there's too much signal coming into it? Try turning down the levels being sent into the unit via the aux sends, then turning the aux return level up to get more reverb through. Probably best to start at 100, which should be "unity" - then if you need to turn it up or down for a particular reason, you have somewhere to go up or down. But if you start at 100, have the reverb unit set to 100% wet, you should be able to achieve a nice balance by sending appropriate levels into the unit, from the instruments you want to apply the reverb to.
