Overview

In contrast with most other effects, a reverb is usually used to add realism to a music production. Tracks are recorded in a dry room with no reflections and later these tracks are sent through a reverb that adds reflections just the way a natural room would have done. The advantages are twofold:

First, it is inexpensive. A natural room that sounds good is expensive to build and hence also expensive to rent. A digital room simulator costs much less.

Second, it is flexible. Adding the room later by a digital room simulator gives you freedom. If you record in a natural room, all reflections are on the tracks, you can't remove them anymore. With a digital room simulator you can change, experiment and modify after the recording has been done, until you are fully satisfied with your room.

Silverspike Reverb.it comes with 16 editable factory program presets that give you a selection of reverb settings for different situations. To create your very own reverb program you can use 14 knobs and two switches that control various room parameters. The following table lists all parameters (left column) with a short description (middle column) and a link to a page with a detailed description (right column).
