delays
diffuse:
environment you you are trying to emulate. The rule of
thumb is that for reflective environments set a low HF
damp factor and for less reflective reverb types (i.e.
for an acoustic environment that maybe has many 'soft'
fixtures such as drapes, curtains, etc.) set a higher HF
damping factor.
This allows you to set the delay between the direct
signal and the onset of the reverb decay. In very large
acoustic environments, it is common that there will be
a delay between the direct sound and the onset of the
reverberation. This is known as 'pre-delay' and is set
by this parameter.
This parameter allows you to set the 'smudge factor' of
a reverb effect. Some acoustic environments are
extremely reflective and you may hear discrete echoes.
Other environments cause the reflections to be more
erratic and so smooth out discrete echoes. The diffuse
parameter allows you to set how reflective or smooth
the reverb pattern is during its decay. Low settings of
diffuse create a more reflective environment where
echoes can be heard and higher settings smooth out
these reflections into more of an ambient 'wash'.
