Using the Reverb effect
The Reverb effect lets you simulate acoustic space, and it consists of both early reflections
and echoes that are so closely spaced that they're perceived as a single decaying sound. The
Reverb effect is different from the basic Echo effect in that the delays aren't repeated at
regularly spaced intervals.
The Reverb effect can create a wide range of high-quality reverb results. It can reproduce
acoustic or ambient environments such as a coat closet, a tiled bathroom shower, a concert
hall, or a grand amphitheater. The echoes can be spaced so closely together and made to
occur at such random times that a signal's reverberated tail decays smoothly over time,
creating a warm and natural sound. Alternatively, initial early-reflection delays can be
used to give a sense of room size, depending upon the initial delay times.
The difference between the Reverb effect and the Full Reverb effects is that Full Reverb is
newer, and it provides more options and better audio rendering. However, you may prefer
the older Reverb effect if that's what you're used to using.
Note: Because the Reverb effect can take longer to process than the other reverb effects, it may
not be the best choice for using in real time in Multitrack View.
natural. This technique can create a sense of spaciousness in a monophonic signal (one that
has been recorded as or converted into a stereo audio file). Even a Total Reverb Length as little
as 300 milliseconds can open up the perceived spaciousness of a dry sound (one that was
recorded without any effects or reverb).

To simulate rooms that have both echoes and reverb, use the Echo effect first to establish
the "size" of the room sound, and then use the Reverb effect to make the sound more
