I've been using this thing all wrong. I've got a situation configured here
where, but interfacing it with Cubase Sx, applying it to every track in a
mix and then returning the tracks to Paris I can use this processor on every
track in a mix. I can adjust the level sent to each track in Cubase.

Man this is nice. The way this reverb works pretty much complements normal
panning without needing to use mono delays to enhance the L/R positioning in
a mix. Everything sound open and detailed. Not muddy at all. The tracks just
seem to bounce off the walls that are created by the Quantec soundstage in
conjunctiopn with the pan positions. It just sounds right and realistic. Of
course, I've been trying to mix this acoustic project like a rock song so
I'm bummed because i don't get to overprocess my mix now, but hey........I'm
learning.

;o)

So DJ, you use some Haas effect type delays?
I have been wondering if it actually makes things worse. I mean, the musicality
and realism in some vintage rock recordings is pretty great and they never
did that that I know of or did they?
I recently did a mix using some short (not too short) delays panned opposite
the source and put way low i the mix, but I wondered if it just mucked up
the works. Like there was just too much "noise" in the mix.

I think the delays work better if there is no reverb on the tracks. I'm
using delays on one instrument here without the reverb on that particular
track and it does provide some spatial enhancement.
