Reverb
Cards in this deck (15)
- 1When is reverb created?When a sound is produced in an enclosed space, causing a large number of echoes to build up and then slowly decay as the sound is absorbed by the walls and air.
- 2When is it used?When recordings have been made using close mic techniques, or have been made in dry spaces/anechoic chambers.
- 3When can a reverb level be controlled by a person and not the environment?During a close mic recording.
- 4What type of effect is reverb and when is it added?An auxiliary effect that is added in production.
- 5Where is reverb often found?In guitar amps and effects units.
- 6How can reverb be added?Via software or an external piece of hardware.
- 7When is more reverb captured?If a microphone is placed further away from the sound source.
- 8What determines the nature of the reverb?Room acoustics - e.g. flat, shiny, or stone walls.
- 9What is plate reverb?When a large sheet of metal has sound inputted one end and the resulting sound reflections from the vibrations at the edge of the sheet are picked up by a microphone.
- 10How is the reverb time controlled when using plate reverb, and how does it work?By use of a damping pad, which absorbs the reflections quicker.
- 11When is plate reverb most often used?For vocals.
- 12What is spring reverb?When a spring has sound inputted one end and the resulting sound reflections from the vibrations at the edge of the sheet are picked up by a microphone.
- 13What is the advantage of spring reverb?It is a lot smaller.
- 14What has a characteristic twangy sound?Spring reverb.
- 15How is the reverb time adjusted in spring reverb?By adjusting the tension of the spring.
