  • Capriccio Espagnol by Maurice Ravel -- tips on reverb?

    Hey-yo!

    I'm trying to develop an ear for appropriate reverb, and altogether I'm finding it very difficult and confusing. Let's take my latest practice piece, that great introduction to Capriccio Espagnol from Maurice Ravel:

    The Mockup

    I have a good friend/teacher who keeps telling me to tone back the reverb (this bounce is after following this advice), but I can't help but feel like the strings and other instruments are still coming off a little too dry. What do you think?
    Just for reference: I currently have everything being bussed into only two reverbs: an early response, and a medium-length tail, both in Space Designer.
