SOMEBODY BESIDES ME MUST HAVE THIS PROBLEM !

[Pete Weaver]

Hey Gang,

When I'm mixing, I bus some snare or guitar over
to my reverb channel and I get phasing !

What's the cure for this?

I don't want to send the WHOLE output of the snare
over to the reverb channel because I like to have
a blend of both dry and wet.

Help!

Make sure your Reverb on the "return" track is set to 100% wet.

There is definetly phasing that occurs due to the latency in bussing (I can't remember how many samples off hand) and in using a reverb plugin (# of samples depending on the particular plugin).
As far as a cure, the only way to make certain that both the dry and the wet signals are arriving at the Mix Bus at the same time would be to either:
1)put a delay plugin on the audio track to compensate for the latency induced by the bus and plugin latency
or
2)duplicate the track, nudge it back in the song by the calculated # of samples, and send the output of the only the duplicated track to the Reverb Aux track

But, most people just "let it slide" when using a reverb plugin (contrary to making a compressed drum submix, ect...) considering it's not that noticable. (reverb being an effect comprised of countless overlapping delays, full of phasing already)

If you put a delay on the source audio track, then you are delaying the the send to the reverb as well, so... it doesnt help.

THere is a way aroung the latency, but it requires 2 busses for every need send, its a drag.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">You can put the send in "pre" mode, I think that will work.
But you will need a delay able to be set to samples not milliseconds.

I think we are getting "timeadjuster" plugin with v.6.
