How much reverb is too much?
It’s ok to use more than two reverbs, but try to keep the number pretty low. You can go really simple and just use one mono room reverb. I don’t recommend doing this for every mix. But it’s helpful if you want to create depth in your mix without doing much to change the overall space.
