Join Alex U. Case for an in-depth discussion in this video Touring the interfaces for six reverb plugins, part of Audio Foundations: Reverb.
We've talked about the anatomy of reverb drawing a distinction between the early reflections…and the reverb tail that follows.…And we've worked through the essential parameters of Reverb Time, pre-delay, wet/dry mix, any…frequency adjustments, plus the other less precise parameters like diffusion, density, and so on.…Let's review some plug-ins and see if we can stay oriented.…Have patience, the fantastic capability of plug-ins today means that some of them open…to a screen with many confusing at first parameters.…
We look for the essentials, then we look for the bells and whistles.…Let's start with D-Verb, a stock ProTools plug-in.…This is an easy-to-use plug-in that lets you tweak the essential parameters and move on.…As we look around, we see nothing that addresses early reflections separate from the reverb.…For this plug-in, as with many others, the early reflections are still part of the sound we…just can't get at them directly.…It's a little bit like using a semi-parametric EQ where the algorithm takes care of the queue parameter for us.…
