UAD Spotlight: Mixing Guitars with Reverb and Modulation

Learn to add depth to dry guitar tracks and use stereo effects for awe-inspiring mixes. 

In part two of our series, watch as Drew Mazurek takes you beyond reamping and into the world of time-based UAD plug-in effects. Starting with a dry rhythm guitar track, you'll learn how to choose the right reverb for you mix — from the realistic room sounds found in Ocean Way Studios and Sound City Studios to the lush texture of the EMT 140 and EMT 250.

Next, we explore modulation effects like Studio D Chorus, Brigade Chorus, and AMS-DMX Digital Delay & Pitch Shifter, detailing how to use subtle stereo width to make your single guitar tracks feel bigger and more spacious. Whether you’re working with a mono guitar track or a full double-tracked arrangement, these tips will get your mixes over the finish line, and make your guitar tracks feel more balanced and immersive in any mix.
