USAGE IDEAS
It's a reverb with like fi ve controls, how many ideas do I need, Korne ff guys?
It's not how many you need, it's how many we can give you. Here:
Send and Returns or Across an Insert
Most studio applications of reverb involve patching it into the console using channel Aux
Sends and then returning via a dedicated console E
ff ects Return, or in the case of a DAW,
via a stereo channel, sometimes called an Aux channel. The MDR, however, follows the
heritage of the units on which it is based, which were designed to be patched across the
output of an inexpensive console and fed directly into a mixdown deck or a bus
compressor.
You can use the MDR with sends or using inserts on a channel or a bus, but it does lend
itself to the latter—slapping it on an insert and skipping the whole setting up an Aux Send,
blah blah blah.
To use the MDR on an insert, simply instantiate it on a channel or bus insert, bring up DRY
to 100%, and then adjust WET to get the balance you want (feel free to adjust DRY as well).
This is a really quick way to use the unit, and when you’re writing a song or experimenting
and you want to keep your ideas
fl owing, bring up the MDR, spin the knobs, pick a program
and go.
To use the MDR in a more conventional way, set up a channel Aux Send, instantiate the
MDR on the Aux Send output and keep the
DRY at 0 and Wet at 100%.
Monoverb
A favorite application of the MDR is to instantiate it on a mono channel, using it as an insert
with a mono output. Doing this keeps the direct and the reverberant sound tight and
compact, and reminiscent of the sound of records made in the 60’s and early 70’s when
engineers would often cut an instrument or vocal straight with all its e
ff ects straight to
tape. In a modern application, using the MDR mono on a channel lets you carve out a cool
little spot in your mix for an accent or a touch of ear candy.
Small Rooms
The small room programs are rather unique on the MDR: they actually sound like small
rooms. They're great for adding a bit more weight to an instrument or just making them a
little less lifeless and dry.
