![]() ![]() This is analogous to a single point of daylight seen poking through a small crack in a wall or ceiling in a dark room.Ī single dry lead vocal track has only its volume level, pan position, and tonal personality to distinguish it from the rest of the elements in a song. A dry unprocessed mono point source such as a lead vocal is heard from a very specific and precise pan (panoramic) location within a stereo, surround or immersive field. Sounds recorded without reverb or ambience present a flat soundstage with very little depth or sense of space, whereas properly applied reverbs increase the three-dimensional quality and apparent size of the source audio. The instruments and vocals sound as if they were all playing together in the same space at the same time-even though they were not. In music mixing, reverb is sometimes thought of as a kind of “glue”-a diffuse sound that fills in around vocals and instruments to make them sound like a cohesive whole. Algorithmic reverbs can produce natural ambiences or otherworldly and creative textures. Algorithmic reverbs, as opposed to IR ‘verbs, generate ambience by using DSP to synthesize the effect. IR reverbs let you apply the sound of a real space to sounds in your mix. Reverbs may also be artificial effects, like the sizzly reverb tail added to the snare in a trap record or the gated ambience of a dance snare drum.Ī sampling reverb, sometimes called an IR (impulse response) reverb or convolution reverb, samples the sound of a real space and convolves it into a reverb system useful for music mixing. Even spaces that are physically impossible to construct or image can be synthesized. ![]() This “space” can be realistic like a large, open concert hall or any other space-closets, small rooms, car parking garages or small, closed-in spaces like an automobile interior. Reverb is a time domain-based effect used to place musical sounds and/or dialog in an artificially created acoustic space. At the end of this article is a glossary of some terms that you may not be familiar with. Let’s take a look at using reverberation in your mixing work. ![]() Adding reverb using a digital reverb, be it hardware or software, is a striking way to enhance the overall sound of your music easily and with reliable results. Plates, rooms, spring reverbs, digital reverbs, and room mics are all ways to add ambience and three-dimensional depth to music mixes. ![]()
