Got some dialgue that needs some space around it; here are some tips to consider.

• For dialogue mixing, nothing makes your adr stick out further than by using stereo reverb in the middle of mono sync - narrow it down!

• Darkening the reverb often helps too, as sparkly fairy dust highs from the reverb on a dull sync clip with highlight it painfully in the mix.

• Remember less is more with dialogue reverb. It is easy to get carried away.

• Pre-delay is your friend, using pre-delay and increasing it can help the sense of space around dialogue without having to have such long reverb times.

• Check out Michael Carnes’ (the Reverb Guru) salient advice on Exponential Audio’s web page for nifty reverb tips and techniques - to quote Mike Thornton, “what he doesn’t know about reverb isn’t worth knowing”
