I'm trying to bring my mixes to the next level, I understand the basics of setting my faders and using EQ as tools to level out my mix but I find it really hard to grasp the concept of placing my sounds in a room, more specifically bigger rooms. From my understanding, using reverb not only places a sound in the mix further in the back but also the reverb should create a "room" that the sound bounces in.

Not sure if asking about different reverb plugins would be beneficial to this conversation but I do know there are two different type of reverb plugins? Convolution and 1 other type? I may be wrong, please correct me if I am.

Any tips and comments on approaching reverb differently from a philosophical or literal sense are appreciated.

Thanks,
