  • For putting things in a virtual space, I pretty much always have small or medium room reverb on Bus 1 and blend a bit into almost everything. Then I put more effecty reverbs (like a plate) on the vocals etc. Not close-mic'ing anything helps as well. there's a good foot of fresh air between the source and mic for the acoustics and vocals.

    That's a really good shout. As an ex rocker we have a terrible tendency to close mic everything and put digital ambience in later, but that real room sound is such a big part of acoustic music that it really feels odd when it isn't there.
