Dan,

In case it's useful for you, below is an example of how I usually set up my reverb busses for routing.

I have two reverbs (s/reverb and l/reverb - literally short and long reverb). I then spread the instrumental reverbs around the stereo field.

As shown in the images, both reverbs are receiving signals from tracks 4, 5, 7, 9 and I've spread the reverbs as follows...

(a) 60% left, 50% right, 40% left and 20% right for the short reverb

(b) 60% right, 50% left, 40% right and 20% left for the long reverb

This means that for each track, the short reverb for that track is heard on one side of the stereo field and the long reverb is heard on the other side. I've then alternated left/right with the next track so that, in the final mix, not all long reverbs are on one side and all short reverbs on the other side. Also, as the different percentages show, the reverbs for this song's backing are spread between 20% and 60% left and right.

DISCLAIMER: when reading what I've said above, keep in mind that I'm not a professional mixer smile
