Audio effects

Chamber Reverb

Dense algorithmic reverb based on Dattorro's design, capable of infinite decay.

In this guide

Add it to a track

Select the destination track, open Plugins, and choose Add Effect. Find this device in Library → Effects. Effects process the signal from the devices before them in the chain.

Controls

ControlWhat to listen or look for
Pre-DelaySets the gap between the original sound and the start of the reverb.
BandwidthSets the input bandwidth feeding the reverb tank.
Tank 1Spreads reflections through this stage for a smoother, denser reverb tail.
Tank 2Spreads reflections through this stage for a smoother, denser reverb tail.
DecaySets how long the resonant or reverberant sound takes to fade.
DampingReduces high-frequency energy as the sound decays, making the tail darker.
RateSets how fast the modulation cycle repeats.
DepthSets how far the modulation moves its target.
WetSets the level of the processed signal.
DrySets the level of the original, unprocessed signal.
ModelChooses Classic diffusion controls or Coupled rooms.
Room SizeChanges the coupled-room size and its calculated early-reflection timing.
CouplingSets the interaction between the coupled rooms.
Early / LateBalances early reflections and the later reverberant tail in Coupled rooms.
WidthAdjusts the difference between the left and right channels to change stereo width.
Long Pre-DelaySets the gap before the reverb begins, up to five seconds in extended mode.

Work with this device

Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.

Current behavior

Model changes the visible controls. Classic exposes Input 1/2 and Tail 1/2 diffusion; Coupled rooms exposes Room Size, Coupling, Early / Late and Width. Their Decay controls are separate stored parameters. The early-reflection ticks are calculated timing, not a recorded room measurement. Use the Pre-Delay range selector deliberately; the extended range reaches 5 seconds.
