16 Reverb Reverb stands for reverberation, which is an effect formed by the reflections that a sound makes as it bounces around the room and back to your ears.
Reverb, when added to an instrument or vocal, can make the sound sweeter and seem fuller.
The other effect of reverb is to bring the elements of a mix together.
Reverb often comes as part of a package in a multi-effects unit.
You buy one box and get a whole range of effects that you can get dangerous with.
Reverb is another area where a little money can buy a lot.
For less than a couple of hundred, you can get something that will add some class to your productions.
Just don't over do it - it's easy to go overboard and add it to everything, which can make your mixes sound a bit wack.
