Could anyone give me a few tips on reverb sweeps..

I can never get it right.. such as what chain of effects should be used.

Im using cubase 4 so im more familar with there effects

It's a noise sweep or filter sweep over the noise. There's lots of ways of doing them and different things you can do with them.

Most synths have a noise - fuzz sound on them. You can put a filter after it and then on the automation just draw a diagonal line for the filter cut off.

The sweep sound is from the cutoff opening up (letting through the higher frequencies) or closing

There are lots of ways of doing it. And the results are mostly the same. You can put a stereo echo after the filter and it will give a stereo effect. Or use a reverb.

Also you can use side chain compression to give it the pulsing Deadmau5 sound.

if you experiment with the lengths of the cutoffs you can get effects like cymbals.

The more you experiment the better - you'll find more interesting variations.

That's a really long way round to make that sound.

Turn the reverb time really long like 5 to 10 seconds.

Use something like a non-lin reverb or a thick chamber.

Run a snare through it and record the output.

Then reverse the outputted file. Same as a really long reverse cymbal.

Then sidechain or automate a gate and add delay or filter or whatever you're having yourself.
