couple things i wanted to add.
first off, great tutorial so far. Dont care for the sound, but I’m interested in your technique and your drum programming.
The reverb wasnt set to 100% wet on the return. Make sure to do that when using returns.
Lastly, if you want a new school type of feel, you can use different reverbs on different tracks and stuff. In the old days, there wasnt alot of processing power so the same reverb was used on a bunch of tracks. This gives more of an old school sound to your track. Just an insider tip.

Tbh im using a pretty powerful computer and i still dont like using more than a few reverbs. I wouldn’t generally use abletons reverb, something like aether probably, which still uses up a lot of cycles.
Sure you could bang a differnt reverb on every track but then your confusing where sounds sit in the mix. all totally individual preferance of course… mine being to keep it simple, clear, and light on cpu.
I really enjoyed this series of tutorials. I used to Dj at a beach side loungy bar and this typa stuff was all we played early on in the night so it’s nice to see how it’s put together. I do feel that deephouse is something you have on in the background whilst enjoying a nice meal it doesn’t really do much on a dancefloor…
Also it’s not a set in stone rule that your reverbs etc need to be 100% wet on the return tracks, you can mess around with the dry/wet % for some interesting effects.

Nah I am sure the Pope said today “thy shall keep your effects Wet on return tracks” but i was always rubbish at latin

Different mixes will result in variations of texture, although almost everyone you speak to, tutorial and books will usually say “when using effects on send make sure the wet is set to 100%” this is something that should be taken with a pinch of salt as many things in music production its all about experimentation and personal taste.

Right. I agree rules are meant to be broken, but Jon, you have to agree with me that it really doesnt make sense.
