FX Parameters. The following parameters are available based
on the type of effect you’ve selected from the Preset list:
Reverb Parameters
Decay. The time (in seconds) required for the
reflections (reverberation) to die away.
Predelay. This is the time (in milliseconds) between the end of the initial
sound and the moment when the first reflections (reverb) are heard.
Adjusting the predelay changes the apparent size of the room without
having to change the overall decay time. This gives your mix a little more
transparency by leaving space between the original sound and its reverb.
Early Reflections. Early reflections are those that reach the
listener a few milliseconds after the direct signal, and your brain
uses them to identify the size of the room you’re in.
If you’re trying to simulate a specific type of room, this parameter is
extremely important because it lets you set the level (in decibels) of the early
reflections. The louder the early reflections, the smaller the room will seem.
The following list shows the available parameters for different reverb types:
Gated Halls and Plate reverbs: Decay and Predelay
General Halls and Rooms: Decay, Predelay, and Early Reflection
