The effect that simulates sound reflecting in a space, adding depth and ambience.
Reverb is the persistence of sound in a space after the original source stops — the wash you hear in a cathedral, a hall or a tiled bathroom, created by countless reflections off surfaces. As an audio effect, reverb simulates these spaces digitally, and it is one of the most important tools in mixing because it places sounds in an environment and creates a sense of depth and distance. A little reverb makes a dry, close-recorded vocal sound natural and three-dimensional; too much pushes it far away and muddies the mix. Producers use it both subtly, for realism, and dramatically, as an obvious creative effect.
