RS Reverb
RS Reverb adds adjustable reflections and decay, making a dry recording sound as though it is playing in a room or hall.
Listening Experience Guide
- Intimate Space:
- Start with Room Size 8-12m, Reverb Time 1.0-1.5s, and Mix 20-30%
- Lower Mix if vocals or instrument attacks lose clarity
- Hall-like Space:
- Start with Room Size 30-40m, Reverb Time 2.0-2.5s, and Mix 30-40%
- Shorten Reverb Time if successive notes become blurred
- Long, Atmospheric Decay:
- Start with Room Size 25-40m, Reverb Time 3-6s, and Mix 40-60%
- Raise Damping or lower High Damp if the tail is too bright
Parameters
- Pre-Delay (0 to 50 ms) - Changing this control does not currently change the sound. Use Room Size, Reverb Time, and Mix to adjust the sense of space.
- Room Size - Sets how large the space feels (2.0 to 50.0 m)
- Small (2-5m): Cozy room feeling
- Medium (5-15m): Live room atmosphere
- Large (15-50m): Concert hall grandeur
- Reverb Time - How long the echoes last (0.1 to 10.0 s)
- Short (0.1-1.0s): Clear, focused sound
- Medium (1.0-3.0s): Natural room sound
- Long (3.0-10.0s): Spacious, atmospheric
- Density - How rich the space feels (4 to 8)
- Lower values: More defined echoes
- Higher values: Smoother atmosphere
- Start with 6 for natural sound
- Diffusion - How the sound spreads out (0.2 to 0.8)
- Lower values: More distinct echoes
- Higher values: Smoother blend
- Try 0.5 for balanced sound
- Damping - How the echoes fade away (0 to 100%)
- Lower values: Brighter, more open sound
- Higher values: Warmer, more intimate
- Start around 40% for natural feel
- High Damp - Controls brightness of the space (1000 to 20000 Hz)
- Lower values: Darker, warmer space
- Higher values: Brighter, more open
- Start around 8000Hz for natural sound
- Low Damp - Controls fullness of the space (20 to 500 Hz)
- Lower values: Fuller, richer sound
- Higher values: Clearer, more controlled
- Start around 100Hz for balanced bass
- Mix - Balances the effect with original sound (0 to 100%)
- 10-30%: Subtle enhancement
- 30-50%: Notable space
- 50-100%: Dramatic effect

Quick Start Guide
- Choose Your Space
- Start with Room Size to set basic space
- Adjust Reverb Time for desired atmosphere
- Fine-tune Mix for proper balance
- Shape the Sound
- Use Damping to control warmth
- Adjust High/Low Damp for tone
- Set Density and Diffusion for texture
- Fine-Tune the Effect
- Adjust Mix for final balance
- Trust your ears and adjust to taste
Start with a low Mix value, then increase it until the added space is clear without obscuring the original recording.
