Hi everyone!
For my dawless setup I’m thinking of the best order for effects
I have a delay/echo (strymon volante)
and a reverb (strymon nightsky)
also, I normally have my analog heat on the master.
nevertheless, I’ve read somewhere that the best order might be to but the saturation (heat) before the other effects? and the reverb last?
so: heat -> volante -> nightsky?
or do you think in this case its better to do : volante -> nightsky -> heat?
try them all and see what you like?
(i think reverb last would be the traditional and most “real” way to do it. reverb into a delay can be interesting, but also that’s a lot of reverberations potentially, so can create a massive mush… )
What are you using the delay and reverb for?
If you’re using a mixer I would put the delay and reverb on the fx channel and keep the heat on the master. Would be way more flexible compared to having all of that stuff on the master.
although in that case, you could put the delay on a aux send and back into a channel which also sends to the delay and the Heat inside that feedback loop will be lots of fun.
quite a specific usage though I guess, i agree it depends what you’re trying to do.
good idea, thanks!
Here’s a pretty cool example of reverb before distortion:
