Reverb Parameters Explained

An essential guide to understanding reverb effects. Learn the break down of common reverb settings, with an explanation of what each parameter does and how it shapes the sound. Discover traditional reverb types like plate reverb. Also, gain practical tips for setting up and adjusting reverb effects to enhance your live mix.

Key Points:
  • Discover basic reverb parameters. These include reverb time, pre-delay, EQ controls, high pass and low pass filters, diffusion, and room size.
  • Reverb time determines how long the reverb effect lasts after the initial sound.
  • Pre-delay creates a gap between the original sound and the onset of the reverb, helping to maintain clarity.
  • EQ controls within the reverb allow for fine-tuning the tone of the effect.
  • Diffusion controls the spread of reflections in the reverb, although its impact can be subtle.
  • Room size setting creates an artificial space that's being modeled, affecting the character of the reverb.
  • Achieving a balanced mix is crucial. This is especially true when using send/return channels or inserting the effect directly on a channel.
