Using Audio Filters

Both Echo and Reverberation filter settings are described below:

 Effect Mix: This slider determines how much of the “dry,” or original, sound from the

audio clip is mixed with the affected audio. By keyframing this parameter over time,
you can make it sound as if someone were walking from far away in a room (where
there would be more reverberation) toward the microphone (where there would be
less reverberation the closer they came).

 Effect Level: This slider defines how loud the reverberation or echo effect will be.
 Brightness: This slider affects the quality of the reverberation or echo. Boosting this

parameter makes the effect seem more intense.

 Feedback: This slider (Echo only) affects how long the echoes produced by the filter

will last. As they repeat, they’ll interact with themselves to produce a complex series
of echo effects.

 Delay Time: This slider (Echo only) lets you determine the pause, in milliseconds,

between each echo. The longer the pause, the bigger the apparent space of
the environment.

 Type: This pop-up menu (Reverberation only) lets you specify the kind of acoustic

environment the filter will attempt to reproduce.
