Why do some reverbs sound fuller and more realistic than others? Oftentimes, the secret is hiding in the low-end.
Discover how LiquidSonics’ Very Low Frequency (VLF) reverb technology gives your productions the weight, dimension, and realism of authentic spaces without muddying your mix.
In this comprehensive tutorial, Julian David demonstrates how Tai Chi‘s dedicated VLF processor works to provide:
- Rich, natural low end that intelligently adapts to the reverb decay time
- Extended depth for short reverbs for more authentic room simulations
- Controlled low-frequency energy in longer reverbs to prevent mix clutter
- Independent processing that complements both reflections and late reverb
Through practical examples with drums and synth bass, you’ll learn the concepts behind VLF and how to use it in your own mixes.
This isn’t just another EQ trick—it’s a complete paradigm shift in low-frequency reverb treatment that brings unprecedented weight and dimension to your productions.
What is VLF (Very Low Frequency) Reverb?
Low frequency acoustics are essential for conveying realism in room simulations and play an important role when applying reverb in a mix. For mixing engineers working with drums, bass, and orchestral content, VLF represents a significant advancement in achieving professional low-end clarity without sacrificing authentic spatial characteristics.
Take a deep dive into VLF reverb and learn more about this powerful technology in our blog post. Discover more technical details, audio examples, and the origins of VLF processing going back to the Bricasti M7.
