Mixing/Mastering / REVERBS For the Starters
« on: January 10, 2016, 12:21:47 am »
A revereration, or Reverb, is created when a sound or signal is reflected causing a large number of reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space-which could include furniture, people and air. Decay time how long reverb last.
Hall Reverbs are often low diffusion, low density, and long decay times. Halls are make a good choice when the production is dense and an open, less dense reverb is required.
Room Reverbs also have low diffusion but usually have higher density than halls. rooms usually have lower decay times than halls. Rooms are often for more realistic sounding reverbs and for short reverbs.
Plate Reverb are high density and high diffusion. Plate reverbs are often used for vocals, drums, and keys when we want to create a thick sounding reverb.
Pre-delay controls when the reverb begins. Similar to how attack works on a compressor. Pre-delay of 0ms means the reverb starts instantly with the source sound. By adding pre-delay, we cause the reverb to start slightly later than the source. Pre-delay gives a snare or vocal its own space be heard without being cluttered by reverb.
Saturation is a process that has its roots firmly in the analog domain. Mix engineers using tape would print ‘hot’ levels to create a type of compression, which is known as tape situation.
Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic Waveform, called the Carrier Signal with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.
