As you adjust the settings, they will be applied to the current song. The [Swap “Default”] button toggles between

your current settings and the default settings. This allows you to hear the effect of the changes you make to the

settings.

Use the row of “room” buttons to load typical settings for different types of spaces. These buttons are a convenient

way either to apply a particular effect or to load settings that you can then tweak to make your own preset.

Reverb Parameters

Pre-Delay is the time delay of first reflections.

Decay is the time it takes for reverb to decay. Reverb time is measured as RT60, the time it takes for reverb to

decay to a level -60 dB below the dry signal level.

LF Rolloff gradually reduces the bass frequencies. If you can’t add enough reverb because the sound gets too

muddy, try increasing the LF Rolloff slider. It is adjustable between 50 Hz and 500 Hz.

HF Rolloff is the rate at which the high frequencies die away as the reverb decays. Rooms with hard surfaces are

typically bright, but rooms with soft surfaces are usually darker. It is adjustable between 1 KHz (dark) to 11 KHz

(bright).

Density is the density of low-level echoes near the end of the reverb tail. High Density settings add sheen to the

sound.

Level adjusts the final level of the plug-in.

Typical Reverb Settings

- A large hall might have long Pre-Delay, long Decay, and moderate Density.

- A hard large space, such as a gymnasium, might have long Pre-Delay, high Density and high HF Rolloff.
