Reverb, How Does it Work ?
Reverb(digital) is the simulation of sound that is in an acoustical space (environment). For example, halls, rooms, bathrooms, blues club, arena and all other acoustical environments have a different sound to them. You cannot find 2 rooms that sound alike. 1. Reflections: • Reflections is the sound that bounces back from all the surfaces in a specific room and then goes to the microphone or to the listeners ear. Those bounced sounds are called reflections. • The combination of the direct sound and the reflections in a room creates the distinct tonal character for every acoustical space. • Each reflection acts like a single delay. When you take may reflections and form the same room its creating the reverberation for that specific room. So a simple delay that is set to regenerate many times over can act like a reverb • The reverb takes onto its own when you have thousands of reflections bouncing off every surface in a room and then coming back to you or the mic. With so many reflections
