Note: While materials are used to control decay rates as a function of fre-

quency, the overall decay rate of the late-field reverberation is controlled from

the Timing panel (see Figure 162 on page 493).

To conﬁgure the room material and thickness:

Select a room material from the ﬁrst (left) pop-up menu. The selected mate-

rial appears in the left side of the Material circle.

2. Adjust the thickness for the ﬁrst material with the top horizontal slider:

• A default thickness of +100% yields normal, real-world decays for the ma-

terial.

• Thicknesses beyond the default (up to +200%) exaggerate how the frequen-

cies are absorbed and reﬂected.

• Negative thicknesses invert the response of the material. If the material nor-

mally absorbs high frequencies (causing them to decay quickly) and reﬂects

low frequencies (causing them to decay slowly), a negative thickness will in-

stead absorb low frequencies (causing them to decay quickly) and reﬂect

high frequencies (causing them to decay slowly).

• A thickness of 0% yields decay rates that are not affected by the material.

3. Select a material from the second (right) pop-up menu. The selected mate-

rial appears in the right side of the Material circle. Adjust the material thick-

ness with the bottom horizontal slider.
