10.4 Master Reverb
Reverb is the second of the send effects. As stated a send effect routes an
adjustable amount of audio in parallel to its main signal path and is sent to
a common audio effect. In this case reverb. This reverb affected audio is
then returned back to the main audio path. The effect itself is a common
function, managing several send / return signals. Any common reverb
parameter adjustments will therefore also affect other send signals. The
'Send / Return' configuration is a common application for reverb effects.
What is a reverb effect?
Predelay
Time from initial sound to early reflections
Diffusion
Time between early reflections.
Closer together thickens the sound.
Damping
This replicates 'softer' environments where
sound is absorbed rather than reflected.
Initial Sound Early Reflections Subsequent Reflections
A reverb is a common production effect used to replicate the audio
behaviour of spaces. A normal space such as a small or large room will
reflect audio differently. Think of how the sound reflects in a large cathedral
compared to a small bathroom. The sound will bounce and reflect between
the walls and other elements in the room. These reflections arrive at the
human ear at different times and different levels. Reverb is an effect that
replicates this behaviour.
Reverb parameters mainly focuses on the space / room characteristics.

Range Description
0-100 Replicates a physical room size.
Sound is reflected with walls, furniture and
fittings etc. However it is also absorbed into
0-100
walls and materials. This emulates the
absorbent part of sound in a space.
The time from the initial original sound being
0-100
triggered to the first reflections being heard.
Diffusion emulates how much sound is
dissipated. Essentially this is based on the
0-100
time period between the early reflections. The
wider, the thinner the reverb effect.
