Reverb is that shimmering effect you hear on vocals, that immense sound in a church or the gentle wash of atmosphere on your synth pads. It is the most overused effect out there but when used correctly, can make your sound beautiful.
Used well, then, a touch of reverb here or there can add a completely new dimension to your mix. Early reverbs simulated the effect mechanically using large plates. The larger the plate, the longer the reverb time. Reverb chambers is simply capturing the sound of a room using speakers playing the music and microphones picking up the results of the music played in the room with all of its additional reverberation.

The Top Commercial Audio Editing Software For 2018

How To use EQ to identify and eliminate problem frequencies
We all come to the point where we come across a sound or sounds that makes it difficult to blend the sound with the rest of your mix. It could be a bass part, a guitar part that sounds like the proverbial wasp-in-a-jam-jar or a synth pad that cuts through the mix too much. EQ-ing can help you eliminate these problems.
The EQ that comes with your DAW is often ideal for this sort of EQ-ing, as it will tend to be very accurate, having not been designed to emulate the vagaries and nuances of a fancy analogue EQ circuit. Open your EQ’s control panel and choose which band of the EQ to use based on where the problematic component of the sound is.
