AVerb parameters
• Predelay slider and field: Determine the time between the source signal and the early
reflections of the reverb signal.
• Reflectivity knob and field: Define how reflective the imaginary walls, ceiling, and floor
are. In other words, emulate how hard the walls are and what they are made of. Glass,
stone, timber, carpet, and other materials have a dramatic impact on the tone of the
reverb.
• Room Size knob and field: Define the dimensions of simulated rooms.
• Density/Time slider and field: Determine both the density and duration of the reverb.
• Low values generate clearly discernible early reflection clusters, resulting in an echo.
• High values result in a more reverb-like effect.
• Mix slider and field: Set the balance between the effect (wet) and direct (dry) signals.
