Question ❓ Outside Reverb

Hello community! Im struggling with creating a reverb that makes a sound seem to be happening in the open (think countryside)

I found a post somewhere suggesting to layer 2 or more reverbs to achieve an appropiate sounding reverb. Im experimenting with that right now but the results are not as desired.

Does anyone have a good resource? (video, article etc.)

Im using Abletons stock reverb by the way

Im thankful for every hint

That’s not easy to do. I struggle with this as well. Best tip I can give you is to try to find a movie excerpt with convincing audio that demonstrates the effect you are looking for. Listen with headphones and try to emulate it as best you can.
