Mixer 1 has AuraVerb available as a Send effect for monitoring purposes. Turn the Send
knob on an audio channel to hear the reverb. The mixers are otherwise identical.
AuraVerb
AuraVerb provides richness and color using a special new approach and an unique
algorithm. The reverb features eight different controls, including a ‘Color’ parameter to
create everything between darkened textures to bright, sizzling presence. In addition, there
are 24 presets done by award-winning audio engineer & producer Brian Vibberts.
The following parameters are available in AuraVerb:
Color
The Color control lets you adjust the overall tone of the reverb. On “0” the space created is
darker, like a lushly carpeted area. At “100” the reverb is at its brightest, which can add
some ‘sizzle’ to a lead vocal, for example.
PreDelay
Common for most reverbs, the predelay allows you to create a bit of space between the
source and the onset of reverb. This happens by controlling the amount of delay time that
precedes the initial sound from the reverb. This parameter is used to place the
reverberated signal later in time with respect to the unprocessed signal.
Natural settings for this are based on the size of the environment and range from 0 to 32
milliseconds. Fine adjustment of this parameter with respect to the tempo of the song or
dramatic timing of the piece can help set the feel of the reverb within the mix.
Early Reflection Gain
This is the linear gain value for all early reflections. These reflections are perceptually
grouped with the direct sound when set at lower levels and can nicely thicken a track when
increased.
