13.10 Reverb

Reverb effects are used in almost all music productions and for a variety of purposes. In
everyday life, reverberation is the result of the many reflections of sound that occur in a given
room or other space. In an ambient space, sound may travel directly to your ear and also be
reflected many times off the walls and ceiling of a room before again reaching your ear. With
each reflection, the sound is attenuated as sound energy is absorbed by the reflecting surfaces
and dissipated by traveling through a medium (usually air). This collection of reflected and
attenuated sounds is what we know as reverb.
Reverb provides essential aural cues about the nature of any given space. As such, reverb is
commonly used in music production to create virtual spaces in which the various parts of a
mix can interact.
Studio One features three built-in reverbs: MixVerb, Room Reverb, and OpenAIR (Studio One
Professional). The following describes these reverb effects.
13.10.1 MixVerb™
MixVerb is a simple and efficient reverb that is particularly useful as an insert on mono or
stereo tracks. MixVerb features adjustable size, predelay, and damping, as well as an
adjustable gate and stereo-width control.
MixVerb offers the following parameters:
• Predelay. Adjust the predelay time. Variable from 0 ms to 500 ms. Predelay is the
amount of time before the first reverberated signals will be heard.
• Size. Adjust the relative size of the reverberating space. Variable from 0 to 100%.
• Damp. Adjust the relative amount of damping (attenuation of the upper frequencies)
of the reverberated signal. Variable from 0 to 100%.
• Gate. The gate is applied to the reverb output signal.
