I'm setting up a template for a typical recording session, and was wondering how everyone sets their reverb busses up.
I was about to set up a stereo reverb bus, then asked myself if I have a mono source such as guitar hard panned, doesn't it defeat the pan effect by sending to a stereo reverb. I believe it would. So what good is a reverb bus to the signals which aren't center panned? Are overhead drums, snare, vocals etc, the only ones you send then?
I realize that I could send post-pan, but the "good" reverbs don't send the returns with respect to the pan knob. Why is this?
Also, what is the meaning of "true" pan, where I've read to use the DirMix plugin instead of the pan knob?
help please... 🙂
