Phil shows how to combine reverb and delay to enhance an otherwise ‘dry’ mix. He shows how these effects can create space and flow in your mix to make the mix sound more natural and immersive. Phil applies reverb and delay to various inputs to show the impact these two effects can have on the overall sound.

Reverb adds space and depth to vocals, making them blend better with the rest of the mix. The reverb creates a sense of space. It makes the vocal sound more natural and integrated.

Applying reverb to the snare drum helps it sit better in the mix and adds depth to the overall sound. The reverb boosts the snare's presence. It makes it sound more cohesive with other instruments.

Delay can fill gaps in the vocal track and emphasize certain phrases, adding texture to the mix. Overusing the effect pushes the delay to its limits. This helps understand its impact. Then, dial it back to a more subtle level.

A short delay can act as a doubler, thickening the vocal sound and adding richness. The doubling effect enhances the vocal, making it fuller and more prominent.

As Phil is switching between dry and wet mixes, it demonstrates the significant difference effects can make. Effects add space and realism. They make the mix sound more natural and cohesive.
