Transcript of Reverb
Algorithmic vs. Convoluted
REVERB
Introduction to Music ProductionMade by Daniel Bejarano

LOOKING TO ADD AN EXOTIC FLAIR
TO YOUR RECORDING MIX?
Maybe one that’s more like an audio collage? One that’s can be affectionately called a beautiful sonic environment?
Well today, I’m going to teach about two ways to accomplish such a feat…
… so let’s compare and contrast Algorithmic and
Convoluted reverb, shall we?
REVERB IS ANOTHER WAY TO GUIDE ALISTENER’S FOCUS!
Now before we go into the two types of reverb, let’s talk
about the Dry/Wet control.
If we put a reverb in a return track and that parallel effect signal flow…
…the signal flow will be 100% Wet.
100% Wet
Meaning that, only the reverb’s signal is coming out of that and coming back into the aux track.
(The dry track, or 0%Wet, is controlled by the individual channel
strips)
Front to Back Control
Keep in mind that the wetter a signal is, the further away it seems in the mix.
So in turn, the drier the signal, the closer it will seem to the listener as well.
*Remember, its all about focusing your listener’s attention, okay?
Now let’s talk about those Algorithmic reverbs
• This type of reverb is created from a kind of formula.
• Like a Synthesizer in that way, creating the impression of a space with an algorithm/ mathematical representation
• More opportunities to manipulate the sound of the the space than convoluted
• Won’t sound quite as real because its not a real recording
Here’s an example of a standard Algorithmic reverb plug-in set up
Delays the entire Start of the reverb
Changes locationOf early reflections
Controls size of the space you’re in
Now let’s talk about those Algorithmic reverbs
• This type of reverb is like a sampler.• It’s a recorded sound of a real space
and we are applying it to your DAW.• -Going to sound more like a real
space, because it actually is a recording of a real space.
Here’s an example of a standard Convoluted reverb plug-in set up
Impulse responses in very exotics spaces
So try things out and see where it
takes you!
A little trial and error and you never know what your mix could become!
My Awesome Mix
Thanks for reading!
I feel I was able to include the most important aspects of the reverb EQ
facts and figures so that anyone who reads this could easily get more out of their mix. Still trying to figure out
powerpoints but you gotta start somewhere. Yay Coursera!
