Bought a Behringer Digital Reverb.. Should I put it in front of the Symetrix AGC or behind the AGC and in front of the Marti? "Skip" seeks!...
If you put the verb early in the chain the rest of the processing will emphasize the effect. Placing the verb further down the line will act as a spice. So it is a matter of what floats your boat. Also, I haven't used a Behringer reverb but some of the low cost reverbs operate better as a side chain instead of a direct insert. |

Rob... Thanks.. I think "Spice" is what I remember with the sound of WLS and WGBF (AM's with the verb on the whole enchalada).. Where, if I read you right, on the front it will get 'enhanced' with more of a WABC sound.....

Antique Radio Repair/Restoration- Send a PM

My audio out of Breakaway (or microphone) splits. One path gets passed through the ART VLA leveler, the other path goes through the Hammond reverb spring, then to the modulator. I did not like the result of sending reverb through compression. For me, it was then too much "up front',
regardless of how I tried to lower it in the mix. I feed main audio and reverb separately into the modulator into 2 different inputs.
I am shooting for the sound of WLS and WCFL, not WABC.

we had an old TAPCO reverb on WCSI in Columbus. As I recall it was last in the chain to allow the level to be set without being pumped by compression.
I always liked at least once a shift during the news to "tap" the reverb to hear the spring.

If you build it, it will eventually burn, and you can build it again.

For what it was, that ole Tapco sounded good...definitely gave you that bigger than life sound in the headphones. I remember the first day the PD spoke into the mic...he stopped in mid sentence, had a pleased look on his face & then carried on. |

When I started in radio in 1967, most broadcast equipment used tube technology, all recorded music was played from records on a turntable by live DJ's, there was no satellite delivery...and radio was fun.

After any AGC. Just before final peak limiting, if possible. Kind Regards, David |

David..
That's where I will put it... I have a space on the splitter of wires (one stereo set goes mono to the marti for this AM and the other goes into the 'StreamOn' box...Those Canadian guys have a good streaming set up.....).... They sent my 'verb' to the old address, so I will pick it up when back in the homeland (3.2 hours north of me)......
