This session focuses entirely on activating the pre-configured Reverbs (Plate, Hall, Room) and Delays in the effects folder and blending them in. You'll learn a proven pro technique for dialing in reverb levels (the "find it, then hide it" method) and see how a specialized EQ is used on the effects bus to prevent your mix from becoming muddy. We also activate fun effects like the Amp Sim for the adlibs and finish by putting all the pieces together for a final blend before heading to the master bus.
