This week’s tutorial is a step-by-step guide to parameter found on reverbs called pre-delay.
Reverb is an incredible tool for creating depth & space, but if it’s used incorrectly it can create muddiness & a crowded mix. Luckily there are parameters that can not only fix this issue, but help create a spacious & dreamy sounding reverb.
Pre-delay is the gap of time between the direct sound & the decay of the sound. When used properly this tool can help create the perfect amount of space between your audio source & the reverb. We will be using some math in this video, so get your calculators ready & be prepared to become an expert at pre-delay!
Follow along as professional engineer Eric “Realistic” Michael breaks down his techniques to executing the perfect pre-delay.

#BeDifferentBeDope
The majority of today’s music is heard for the first time on either a phone, laptop speakers, or earbuds It can be frustrating as hell to have a dope track with the perfect 808 but it disappears when you’re music is played on smaller speakers.
That is why we created the 808 Formula 2. Laptop speakers, phone speakers, whatever. Your bass will be heard
Just wanted to give a big up for a great tutorial!
Great delivery and great content, please keep it up.
