Hi folks,
I need your help.
I really love the incredible reverb and 3-D sense of space Yngwie is getting in these two tracks ("Amberdawn" and "Brothers").
I was hoping you all might give them a listen, and offer some sample settings to for me to try to capture the very lush reverb that Malmsteen has captured on these two instrumentals. Yes, I understand that the reverb was most likely added in post-production. However, be that as it may, I haven't been able to dial in a reverb that is even close to what I am hearing, in these two tracks.
Also, would I be correct in my understanding that there is no "ducking" parameter for the KPA's Reverb effects. I realize that "Ducking" typically applies to delays...but it would be great if something similar could be implemented with reverb. What I notice, here, is that all of Yngwie's single-note runs are clear and articulate, and nothing get's buried by the reverb. The reverb only becomes "present" and "front-and-center" after the completion of a phrase, during the sustain and decay of a note. Which, to me, implies a kind of "Ducking" technique applied (somehow) in post-production.
In any event, I would love to hear anyone's advice. Specifically, if you could give these two tracks a good listen, and recommend levels for the Reverb parameters, e.g., reverb type, reverb mix, delay/reverb balance, time, predelay, damping, bandwidth & frequency, etc. Also, can any adjustments to these settings mimic a "ducking" algorithm, in which the reverb is attenuated during playing, and only becomes pronounced after the notes/signal has peaked and has begun to decay.
Thanks in advance, my friends!
@meambobbo -- this sounds like it would be right up your alley, mate.
