NOTE
Again, don't forget that nothing of this affects what the engineer hears or records,
it is merely controlling the artist's listening signal. The reason for the built-in eq
(equalizer) and fx (effects) is that there is a significant delay between the studio and
the artist during playback and recording; so if the engineer was to use effects on
the artists' signals at the studio, and provide that back to the artist, there would be
a large and confusing echo effect along with it.
Effects
As explained before, the Performer application features built-in effects for the
artists' monitoring. These are not recorded in Cubase/Nuendo but only audible by
the artist. As with all other Monitor mixer controls, they can be accessed by both the
artist and the engineer remotely. If the artist knows how to deal with the mixer, he or
she can of course set up their own listening experience, but the good news is that
this task can also be left to the engineer like in a professional recording
room-to-room situation.
Reverb
The Reverb is fed by the send controls of each channel in the Performer Monitor
mixer. Those sends are not useful, and thus not available for the MASTER and
STUDIO channels. Reverb is the only effect global to all channels, other fx are
available per channel.
On/Off
Sets the Reverb active or inactive Compressor.
Reverb
Sets the Reverb volume (the "wet" portion of the reverberation signal).
Size
Sets the size of the reverberation room, and thus the length (duration) of
reverberation.
Damp
Sets how fast the reverb signal is loosing high frequency content during its
lifetime (how fast it is becoming "dull").
Width
Sets the stereo width of the reverberation signal. Higher values increase the
stereo with.
