Another great tip I learned from Warren Huart is to take an instrument that you want to have reverb on and pin it hard right then send it to an auxiliary track that has reverb panned hard left Or vice versa This will add tremendous width but it's best used for lead instruments like a lead guitar or a lead synthesizer or for ear candy effects Hope that helps someone

Thank you very much. To my opinion No1 producer in the world in terms of talent is LiQWYD. He has writen about 250 songs and ALL are amazing. He uses reverbed but very clean sounds. How does he do it ? Can you make a video to recreate such productions ?

3 Reverb Tips for You!
Tip 1: Use reverb sparingly
Reverb is delicate. Too much reverb throughout your mix has an adverse effect and can cancel itself out if it is competing with too many other reverbs from other instruments.
For the best results, use less reverb on most of the instruments in your mix and choose a couple instruments which you’d like the reverb to be the heaviest on, and use heavier reverb settings on those instruments. This contrast will create a satisfying and balanced reverb sound.
Tip 2: Create depth with reverb
Creating depth with reverb requires carefully balancing the reverb throughout your mix. Avoid carelessly throwing too many reverb plugins and settings throughout your mix as this will cause the reverb to compete with itself and have an adverse effect.
Try this: set up a short decaying reverb bus, a medium decaying reverb bus, and a long decay reverb bus and stick to only using these settings in your whole mix. This simplified approach should help create depth.
Also, try this: for a fun practice, add a short decaying reverb with a small amount of mix to EVERY instrument in your mix except the kick, bass, and atmos. To create a spatial depth of field, add a long decaying reverb with a high amount of mix to just the atmos. This contrast in reverbs will create a beautiful and spatial depth of field.
Tip 3: EQ your reverb
Add a low-cut filter up to 400hz - 500hz to your reverb bus or directly on the reverb plugin.
Reverb doesn’t have much value below these frequencies and will only create muddiness in the bass.
I hope you enjoyed this quick tip!
