Logic Pro 8: Adding Reverb to a Beat

Video Transcript

"Now, I'm going to show you how to add reverb to any track you have. The easiest way in Logic to do it is to use their preset up bussing. If you go to the right on your environment window, you'll see a bus set up where in the top you can put any type of plug-in you want. Right here, I have a reverb plug-in. The different settings for the reverb, different parameters, are all pretty self-explanatory. So then, to get anything sent to this reverb, what I'm going to need to do is go back to my arrange window, or you can do it in your environment window. Basically, in the channel strip area, you're going to run into the SIN section. In those SIN sections, you're going to want to align the bus up with the bus that you are desiring to send that track to. So bus 1 for B is reverb, which I want to send this vocal track to. So, to do that, you could hear the reverb being turned up and turned down based on how much I turn the send up. There is a return level on the actual bus itself and the environment, but usually in Logic, you end up leaving that about around where it is and control all the other individual SINs, because you can send so many things to one channel or to one bus."
