Bus & reverb

cream · Post by **cream** » Sun Dec 05, 2004 5:42 pm

I'm trying to use a low cut filter as an (multi fx)insert on a bus.(drums with a bit of reverb on seperate tracks are send to the bus) When i set the filter to max you only here the reverb. I don't want that..I want the reverb also to be cut. So my question is: How can i mix the reverb with the bus output so i don't hear seperate channels when i cut the frequencies realtime? Has it something to do with pre and post fader?

If the reverb is setup as an Aux effect, it might not get sent to the bus. Fiddling with pre/post might fix it. Otherwise you can load the reverb as an insert (if its only applied on a single track) or before the filter on the bus (if everything you send to the bus is reverb'ed.)

Or: send the bus to a channel on the mixer, and send aux from there. Of course, do not send that channel to the same bus it's getting from.

You might need a small insert device, functionally identical to modular's Xmod&Feedback Connector. But I can't seem to find it here on z... I'm getting to old for this

You can also use this trick to apply effects to mono busses, cos the mixer only provides stereo effects place on the busses (found out about the stereo buss effects only a couple of days ago) :0

This may screw up your signal's phase allignment. Depending on the material this may or may not be harmfull to the mix.
