reverb gets panned?
12 Oct 2010, 08:49I recently found out that the studio set had an overall reverb set, and this reverb gets panned by the pan-setting of the part.
Example: 1 of the 16 parts plays a piano patch. I set reverb to 50, pan is set to center . I play, the sound is in the center of the stereo range and the reverb is 'stereo' and can be heard on left and right;
Now, I pan the piano to the full right and play again. The piano is heard only right, but the reverb is also heard only right. This is very unnatural since assuming you're in a hall, the reverb never stays only at the music instrument, it travels through the complete hall.
Then I found out that this strange effect is bound to reverb 06 - 10. Reverbs 01 - 04 have a natural stereo reverb, not related to the part's pan.
So, I'm glad there are reverbs available which work like I expect, but what about the others (6-10)? Why are there 2 reverbs of each, with different parameters and different relation to panning?
