116 Chapter 9 Reverb
Predelay
This is the delay between the (undelayed) original signal, and the starting point of the
reverb attack phase.
Attack
This is the amount of time it takes for the reverb to climb to its peak level.
Decay
This is the amount of time it takes for the level of the reverb to drop from its peak to
the sustain level.
Sustain
This is the level of the reverb that remains constant throughout the sustain phase.
Hold
This is the duration (time) of the sustain phase.
Release
This is the amount of time that the reverb takes to fade out completely, after it has run
through its sustain phase.
Sound Parameters
The following parameters shape the sound of the reverb. (For more information on
these parameters, check out the in-depth descriptions of the GoldVerb or
PlatinumVerb).
Density
Here, you can set the reverb’s density. Higher values generally sound better.
Spread
Here, you can set the stereo base of the reverb.
High Cut
Here, you can set the high-frequency attenuation for the reverb.
Crossover
Here, you can set the crossover frequency for the Low Level parameter.
Low Level
Relative reverb level of frequencies below the crossover frequency. Although you are
free to turn the level of these frequencies up, in most cases, you’ll get better-sounding
results when you set negative values for this parameter.
