Reverb Early Reflection Facts

in
  • Remember that e.g. in a Cathedral or e.g. a Bullhorn at the Other End of a Football Field has Almost No Detectable Early Reflections Anymore and thus Sounds Far Away
  • on the Other Hand in Small Rooms the Reverberation is Likely to be Dominated by Early Reflections (i.e. these Very Quick / Tight / Initial Repeats from the First Few Bounces of the Sound Walls) and thus Sound Very Close
  • so as a General Rule, the More Early Reflections you have, the Closer an Element will Sound and the Fewer Earlier Reflections the Further Away it will Feel
  • Shorter Reverbs will Sound Closer than Longer Reverbs 
  • Longer Pre Delays will Make the Initial Impact Sound Closer than Shorter Pre Delays
  • More Early Reflections will Make a Sound Feel Closer than Fewer Early Reflections
  • Brighter Reverbs will Sound Closer than Darker Reverbs
