Dokken / Michael Wagener mix question

michaiel · 6th October 2008, 08:10 PM

I have been using Mr. Wagener's mix from Dokken's Hole In My Head (Dysfunctional) as a reference to mix my own songs and i cant figure out the reverb. I was hoping he could chime in and give me some advise on how this was mixed and with what.
I am new to this forum and have been looking for about a month trying to answer this on my own, but I am stuck....
thanks

If I remember it right, there was not much reverb on anything. Reverb was turning into a bad word around that time, so we used it sparingly.

I just put a little "Tiled Room" (PCM70) onto the bottom snare mic (gated, keyed by the top snare mic track) and some smallish wooden room on the guitars. Then the usual Plate verb on the vocal. It's been a while, so don't hold me to it.

Thanks for the reply. This is great information. The mix just had such a fantastic tight well rounded sound. I just couldnt figure out where to start with the reverb.
