The average American stays longer than desired in their home. The population is projected to increase by 100 million people in the next 40 years, and most of them will live in cities. But here’s a quick look at the housing market, what it means for our future, and how we can turn things around.

I’ve been asked several times to explain the difference between dry and wet sounds. Wet is when something is drenched or soaked in water or another liquid. Dry refers to the opposite condition of something being free from water or moisture. In music production, however, wet and dry are used in a different way. In this context, ‘wet’ means a signal that has been processed with some kind of effect (such as reverb) and ‘dry’ means a signal that hasn’t been processed with any effects (except for maybe compression).
Reverb is a powerful tool for adding realism to your tracks, but it can easily be overdone – or sometimes not done enough. If you’re new to audio production, reverb may be one of the hardest effects to use correctly without some guidance. It’s not just a matter of picking one preset and calling it good; but more about understanding what the different parameters do, and how they affect your track. Here’s an introduction to using reverb in your mixes so that you can get started on improving them with better sounding rooms!

The average American stays longer than desired in their home.
According to Realtor.com, the median time a homeowner stays in their home is 13 years. Americans move for a variety of reasons: better job opportunities, family changes, affordability, and lifestyle shifts.
With more Americans staying put for longer periods, it’s no wonder that we are spending more money on home improvements than ever before.
The most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that we spent $424 billion on renovations and repairs in the 12 months ending in March 2016—an all-time high for the series that dates back to 2002.
This is a blog about reverb. If you are reading this, I assume that you know what reverb is and have some idea of how to use it in your mixes. If not, there are many basic tutorials and articles out there, so do yourself a favor and read up on the basics before proceeding. This article will not be for beginners.
Reverb is one of the most important tools in any recording engineer or music producer’s toolbox. It is a relatively simple effect, with few controls: mix (wet/dry), pre-delay, decay time, diffusion, high cut and low cut. Yet this simple device can be used to create an infinite number of sounds that can make or break a recording.
In this series of articles I will explore some common uses—and some uncommon uses—of reverb in recordings. I will also discuss how to use reverb to make your mixes sound better and more professional.

Today I’m going to talk about reverb. Reverb is a tool you can use in your recordings. More than any other effect, reverb defines the mood of the recording.
When you sing in the shower, you hear a lot of reverb. When you sing in a large concert hall, you hear a lot of reverb. When you sing in an empty room, there’s not much reverb at all.
Reverb is what makes dry recordings sound dead and lifeless and wet recordings sound warm and full.
If you want to get a better and creative sound out of your mixes, Reverb is the way to go. Reverb is an effect that is used in almost every recording you will ever hear. Even if it’s just a tiny bit of reverb on a vocal track, it’s there. The important thing you need to know is that when properly used, it can make your sounds sound much fuller and more professional. In short, reverb can make bad recordings sound good, good recordings sound great and great recordings sound amazing!
Reverb works by taking an audio signal, adding some coloration to it, and then playing back the signal along with the original. The process of adding coloration to an audio signal is called filtering. When we apply filters to an audio signal we essentially shape the frequency content of the original signal, which in turn creates new sounds. In our case, we are sending the original audio through a spring reverb device (or digital equivalent) that physically vibrates springs and adds coloration to your signal before being played back with the original.
The common misconception about reverb is that it just makes things sound “bigger”. This is not entirely true as reverbs do add size to a mix but they also add depth and texture
