Hi y’all,
Maybe people have tips for using the internal delay / reverb on boxes like A4, DT, DN that only have fx-sends to one reverb/delay?
I’m sometimes struggling with the high and lowpass, to set those right to work with sends from different sounds - what works for a bass might not work for a lead or hihat.
Do you just pick a middle ground (slight high and lowpass?) to work with all types, or do you choose and only use reverb/delay on sóme sounds?
Yesterday I had a similar problem with delay: I mostly use dotted 8ths timing, but one synth track sequence had 8th notes, and the other had a triplet kind of rhythm, so either straight or dotted delays have problems to the one or the other sequence. Do people really use PLOCKS on the A4 FX track for that? That seemed like a lot of hassle to get things right, plocking that on a step per step basis on the FX track?
Also: I’ve got the synths going into OT. I’m starting to think it might be a nice option to try and divide reverb or delay doubled over the synth and the OT: for example reverb on the synth (f.e. A4) to mainly work with mids and highs (lots of lowcut), and a secondary reverb on the OT Thru track for bass tracks with lots of highcut. Do people do that?
Curious to learn!
Do you have A4 mk2? If so, as you say, I think you could use the individual outs to send dry signal from a track(s) to the OT and have a different delay/reverb added in the OT. If not, you could probably sample the track dry and then add different FX (also true of the DN and DT). With the DT, you can also resample on the box if you want to have different FX for one track.
