    Are these presets intended to be applied before reverb or after?

    Thanks!

    Supposing you apply reverb on behalf of a conventional AUX-send-scheme to your Vienna Instruments, they are meant to be used before reverberation, of course. You can then use a dedicated EQ for the wet signal, to shape it according to your taste and needs.

    If you apply reverb on a track-by-track-basis and plan to use my Instrument Presets, the EQ should be used before the reverb, too - simply because I couldn't take into account the effect the reverb will have on the sound, without actually hearing it. :-) ... That said, it is possible that you could make good use of the so-called Resonance Menus _after_ the reverb, but not without manual tweaking.

    BTW ... there are quite a few EQ Presets which are meant  to be used in combination with a certain Compressor Preset. The Preset-names give you an idea what the signal chain should look like in these cases (pre-EQ/post-compression or vice versa).

    Excellent, thanks for the reply: that's what I thought but I just wanted to be sure!
