What is Reverb?

Reverb is the sound of a space — the way a room, hall, or cathedral colours a sound after the source stops.

  • When you sing in a tiled bathroom, every word echoes — that's reverb in real life.
  • Reverb adds depth, distance and a sense of place to a dry recording.
  • Short reverbs (<0.5s) keep things tight and intimate. Long reverbs (>2s) feel huge and dreamy.
  • Common types: room, plate, hall, spring — each has its own colour.
  • Try the dry / reverb toggle to hear the same hit with and without space around it.

Reverb is glue. A tiny bit on every element can make a flat mix feel like a real performance.
