Emphasizing the reverb using predelay
From the course: Audio Foundations: Reverb
Emphasizing the reverb using predelay
If you stretch the pre-delay parameter of any reverb longer and longer in time, it makes it easier to hear the reverb itself. Let's return to that snare shaker track, and instead of adding nonlinear reverb as we did in the prior movie, I'll add a short plate sound and gradually increase the pre-delay from 0 up to 100 milliseconds and beyond. (music playing) Pushing the reverb 'til later in time away from the dry track itself makes sure that the track isn't obscured by the reverb. It makes the reverb itself easier to hear. Before we tailor this into a more musical effect, it's worth noting if you want to increase the sense of reverberation on any track, you have a few choices to make. You can turn up the reverb, make it louder by raising the send to the reverb, or raising the faders associated with the returns from the reverb. Another approach is to increase the reverb time. By letting the duration of the resonance last longer, you add more reverb to the mix. But a third more subtle…
