Put space between source and reverb:

Using a standard room reverb, adjust the pre-delay to give the impression it is a little big bigger without making it linger too long. On vocals for example, it can give space between the singing and the reverb.

Reverb only:

Send your drums to a big reverb and solo-safe the reverb. That way you are only hearing the reverb and not the original sound source. It can make for a cool fade-in intro for a song. Especially if you add reverse reverb for the change into the real drum kit.

Mix it up:

Use different types of reverb on the same source. Mixing a couple of types of reverb can create an interesting effect.

Don’t use any:

Keep some instruments reverb-free. It can add an interesting contrast to the rest of the song. It can put a solo intrument to the forefront in a special way.

Add other effects:

Add other types of effects on the aux channel where you have your reverb. Try distorting it, phasing it or anything else you can think of.

Use REAL reverb:

Try ditching your plugins and use real reverb. Upload your audio clips to Silophone, an old grain silo that has been converted into a do-it-yourself reverb chamber. You upload audio and it is played back in the empty silo, then recorded and sent back to you as a download.
