are there any tips out there to make a mix
sound more roomy or sound like everything is
being played in a room?
I'm a bit curious about this because all my
mixes sound empty and I want to create as
much ambience as I can.

Should I shoot for long reverbs (1.3 ms / 140 bpm) or should I go under 660 ms for verbs? What would be the best application?

Should it be based on what I hear or should I stick to certain frequency range in the mix so it doesn't get cloudy/muddy.

as far as the dry/ambient thing, that's not so much a question of reverb time (that clues you in to room size) as it is diffusion and damping, is it?

well, that's how i stick something in a room without haveing obvious reverb tails. if you want a cold space leave the top end on the verb and just set the bottom so it's just there. if you want it warm, chop off the top end and increase the bottom (not right down there, just fiddle)

I wonder about delays though... I always get a
better feel when I use em. But, I usually run
into problems when the delays speed up the
mix.
So, subtle ghosts huh? Must be a huge eq cut
with a soft high end.
thanks.

Incidentally, the best multitap delay in your arsenal is probably your reverb processor. Some relatively cheap ones will let you program a dozen or more individual delay taps. It is more limited in other ways (shorter max delay time typically, no feedback), but very usable. I personally tend to prefer multitap delays with lots of taps and no feedback to regular delays with feedback (gives me more control and I can simulate feedback), so the limitations don't bother me. One of the reasons I traded my TC D-Two for an SDE-330 is the greater programmability and configurability of the taps on the Roland box.
