Reverb My Take on Music Recording with Doug Fearn

    • Arts

Music is meant to be heard in an appropriate acoustical environment. But many times, we have to record in a space that does not have the right sound to it. Artificial reverb is often the solution.
In this episode, I talk about good room sound in a studio, and the earliest methods of creating a reverberation sound. That started with spring reverb, then acoustic echo chambers, tape delay, plate reverbs, and finally the digital reverbs that are used today on most recordings.
I discuss the origins of those techniques for creating reverb, and the strengths and weaknesses of each, along with my impression of how each of them sounds.
I also provide my own insights into using reverb. What kind? How can we modify the basic sound? And how much reverb is appropriate. And maybe no reverb at all is best.
Thanks for listening, subscribing, and commenting. I am always looking for your questions and suggestions for future topics.
