What is Reverb

Reverb is a natural phenomenon that occurs when sound waves reflect off surfaces in a room or space. The reflections create a sense of ambience and spaciousness, and can affect the tone and mood of the sound. Reverb can be subtle or dramatic, depending on the size and shape of the space, the materials of the walls and floors, and the distance between the sound source and the listener.

Reverb is also an artistic tool that can be used to create different effects and atmospheres in music. By adding reverb to a sound, you can make it sound more distant, more intimate, more realistic, more surreal, or more expressive. Reverb can also help to blend different sounds together, creating a cohesive mix.
