smart:reverb 2 replaces these two parameters with two more perceptual controls:
-
The parameter Size replaces reverb time because each reverb style (Room, Hall, Plate, Spring) interprets size differently.
-
Distance integrates the perceptual effect of pre-delay by simulating how a signal behaves further away from the listener.
- Hint: When enabling "Manual Override" you can control the tail length of the reverb and see an estimate for the resulting reverb time in seconds or beats.
This design encourages spatial thinking over parameter tweaking.
