Welcome back to another Dojo. Tighten your belts, because this time weāre going back to literally ancient fundamentals, a tribute to the primordial physical spectre, the OG of all effects: reverb. Iām not talking about presets, brand/model names, or āthis is what so-and-so uses.ā (Iāve written about that already in my two-part article, āReverb Therapyā). Iām talking about what reverb actually is, and how you can use its properties to make better recordings.
