The Included Effect Plug-ins
Reverb Plug-ins
Presets
Presets are useful in the following situations:
• When you want to save a complete setup with different impulse responses for later
use (for example, different setups for explosion sounds that can be reused for
other scenes or movies).
• When you want to save different parameter sets for the same impulse response so
that you can later choose the set that best suits your needs.
Programs
Programs offer the following advantages:
• Up to 36 programs can be loaded into the program matrix for instant recall.
• A program provides a quick and easy way to save and recall a subset of the plug-
in parameters (that is, the settings for a single impulse response), allowing for
short loading times.
• When automating a project and loading a REVerence program, only one
automation event is written.
If you load a plug-in preset instead (which contains a lot more settings than a
program), a lot of unnecessary automation data (for the settings that you did not
use) is written.
Setting up Programs
Proceed as follows:
1. In the program matrix, click on a program slot to select it.
A blinking white frame indicates that this program slot is selected.
2. Click the Browse button or click the empty slot again to load one of the included
programs.
You can also import a new impulse response file, see “Importing Impulse
Responses” on page 91.
3. In the browser that appears, select the program containing the impulse response
that you want to use and click OK.
The name of the loaded impulse response is shown in the upper left corner of the
REVerence panel.
4. Set up the REVerence parameters as needed and click the Store button to save
the impulse response with the current settings as a new program.
5. Set up as many programs as you need (up to 36) by following the steps above.
Ö If you want to use your set of programs in other projects, save your settings as a plug-
in preset using the Presets pop-up menu at the top of the plug-in panel.
Changing the Reverb Settings
The reverb settings allow you to change the characteristics of the room.
The following parameters are available:
Parameter Description
Main All values shown in the top row are for all speakers except the LFE.
Rear
If you are working with surround tracks up to 5.1, you can use this
row to set up an offset for the rear channels.
