Space and depth
Reverb and delay
Two ways to create space: a room, or echoes.
Reverb simulates a room: thousands of reflections blended into a continuous tail. Delay repeats the sound at regular intervals: distinct echoes.
Reverb pushes back and envelops; delay thickens and adds rhythm, often staying more discreet in the mix.
The game has you tell them apart and their variants: short or long room, single or multiple echo.
Listen for
- A continuous tail (reverb) versus distinct repeats (delay).
- How long the tail lasts after the sound.
The classic mistake
Too much reverb on everything: the mix becomes distant and blurred. Dose it per element.
