ABSTRACT
Although reverb’s multifaceted nature is good news in principle, the big catch is that a lot of reverbs tend to apply all these enhancements at once, whether or not you want them to! Furthermore, within a specific reverb effect, the amount and nature of each individual enhancement can be fiendishly difficult to adjust independently of the others. The result is that less experienced engineers usually find that they can’t get enough of one enhancement without overdoing another: they can’t get enough blend without muddying the mix tone, perhaps, or they can’t enrich an instrument’s sustain enough without apparently transporting it to the Taj Mahal!
