Reverb is one of the most important processors to know how to use. It's responsible for creating the entire perception of space in a mix. Without the organic sound of reverb, mixes would sound flat and lifeless.
When I first started using reverb, I had no idea what I was doing. There were tons of presets to flip through, and I felt like I had to tweak everything about them. This led to lots of confusion and I ended up using reverb too much, or just avoiding it because I just wasn't confident I'd get what I was after.
It took me years to discover the correct way to use reverb and the 3-Space Reverb Framework is the result of that. This reverb framework is deceptively simple and it works because it's the answer to how and why we use multiple reverbs in a mix.
It's the answer to how we configure reverbs together. The framework tells us that different reverb types take up different amounts of mix real-estate. Once we know how to manage our mixing real-estate with reverb then it becomes much easier to achieve bigger, cleaner sounding mixes.
This book will help you learn how to use reverb so that your mixes become more detailed. It will help you learn exactly how to combine reverbs together, and most importantly it will help you effectively shape and create the environment of your mix so that it sounds exactly the way you want.
There are front mid and back reverbs that need different settings to blend with the mix and also create their own contrast. You need to watchout for the type of decay you add, short mid long. Also you reverb based on frequency type, means you want to revebr based on pitch and what you want to hit and stand out based on pitch and instrument characteristics.
Some interesting perspectives on reverb here that I had not previously considered. The writing and consistency/repetitiveness of ideas is a bit disorganized. Overall this book does a good job explaining a topic in audio that is widely used but not often interrogated as much as it should be.
