REVERB CLASSES:
Vocal
The Vocal Reverb class can be used to sweeten and enhance the intelligibility or breathy qualities of a sound,
particularly a vocal track. Bandwidth on longer decays is tailored to keep voices balanced in the tail.
Instrument
The Instrument Reverb is tailored for most solo instruments to maintain their tonal quality. High frequency
decays are not limited and low frequencies are controlled to prevent muddiness.
Concert
The Concert Reverb has a neutral high frequency response with a low frequency decay emphasis. It should
be used on sounds or mixes to simulate the “liveness” of a real acoustic location.
Gated
The Gated Reverb class simulates a gated reverb impulse without actually using a noise gate; the effect is
produced within the algorithm. Therefore, both loud and soft sounds will benefit from the effect. This class
provides spaciousness without the clutter of a reverb decay tail.
Ambient
Ambient Reverb is used to capture the early-reflections that are part of reverberated sound. It is excellent for
creating close spaces, matching a dialogue to a room, and adding a sense of distance to close miking.
Though you can increase decay, the bandwidth is controlled to always unmask the early-reflections.
Dynamic
Dynamic Reverb uses input level to switch the Decay time from a minimum setting to a preset length. By
dynamically changing the Decay time you can get both an uncluttered sound and a lush, long reverberation
that is controlled by input level. This class has a flat bandwidth and can be adjusted over a wide range.
