1 What are the differences between algorithmic reverb and convolution reverb and their respective strengths?
Algorithmic reverb uses complex algorithms to simulate acoustic spaces and offers a high degree of flexibility and creative freedom. Convolution reverb is based on Impulse Responses of real rooms and can sound very realistic. This makes it an excellent choice for acoustic instruments in particular. There are also reverb effects that combine the best of both worlds.
2 What are the most important parameters of a reverb effect?
The key parameters are the effect proportion (Mix or Dry/Wet), Decay (Decay Time), Room Size (Room Size), Damping (Damping) and Pre-Delay (Delay until the reverb tail sounds). Together, they
