I discovered that Izotope's Nectar 2 plugin-in has a great emulation of the old EMT 140 plate reverb. Many groups have used this reverb for all of their needs during recording. So, having read about it and liking the sound I started using it as my sole reverb about a year ago.

I never add reverb to the stereo mix (either before or during mastering), i.e., I only add it to individual tracks. My primary purpose is to make each track "sit" in the mix and not sound isolated by letting each track bleed into the mix. I've learned a lot of this from spamming floyd and Tom smile

I will add a minimum of reverb to all of the tracks and then start varying the wet percentage on each one until things seem to sit right...and I guess that is where things get pretty subjective. My mastering plug-in Ozone dropped reverb from its modules when they released the latest version so I guess I'm not alone in not adding reverb to the stereo mix.

All with a healthy does of FWIW's!
