Like I told you in yesterday's post, you can only get so far in a mix without adding some space to flesh it out.

EQ and compression will make everything really tight and separated on the two-dimensional plane but to really add some extra dimension to your mixes you need to use reverb and delay.

So continuing on down the five plug-ins I think are the most powerful to get a great mix we'll move onto reverb next.

Check out the introduction to reverb for some advice on using reverb in your next mix.​​​​​​​

In the later part of this video we also touch upon various ways to use delays in a mix, particularly how to add depth and space to a vocal without pushing it back in the mix. I also give you some fun stereo delay tricks to make your keyboard sounds more interesting.

It'll all be included in the Mixing With 5 Plug-ins course that opens up tomorrow.

The final plug-in in the five plug-in series is saturation and tomorrow I'll be giving you a tip I've been using to tame harsh sounding electric guitars.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's email!
