    I like the smoothness and depth of my sythetic giga studio reverb and I love the realness of my convultion reverb. I have expermented with using both on the same piece (overlaping reverb not on diffrrent instruments). I really love a wet sound but it gets really muddy when you do an overlap like that. What do you suggest?

    Try shorter times and/or Eq the Reverb.

    Try to use different predelays (20-60 msec) for different sections of the orchestra.

    The sections to the back (percussion) can have less and the sections to the front (woods, strings) can have more predelay.

    You should also take into account how much early reflections your source material contain. If you use special tools to add early reflections (Soundstage, Trueverb), you should really increase the pre-delay on the reverb send, to avoid too much blurring in the early reflections stage (0-20 msec).

    A risk of using multiple reverbs or impulses is that they can fill out their mutual natural "openness" and thus create an overall blurred ambience.

    Cheers,

    Is the predelayed settings and eq settings something you can do in gigsstudio 3? If not, what kind of program would you suggest I'd buy?

    Every reverb plugin and convolver has a predelay parameter.

    Audun, what sequencer do you have? Are you familiar with generic audio mixer setups (inserts, sends, busses, etc.)? Can you create a working environment where you can mix multiple audio channels (live or recorded audio)?

    You can also use very simple delay plugins, like the Logic sample delay, which I use to "project" some delayed dry brass sound to the opposite channel, before applying convolution ambience. This is a very simple and effective trick for creating a first order "slap back" reverb, that you often hear from the French Horns (their bells point down and to the back, thus giving a lot of indirect sound).
