reverbs
Acoustic bounce effects
Reverbs is the plural of reverb, a shortened form of reverberation—the persistence of sound after its source has stopped, created by echoes bouncing off surfaces.
In music production, reverb is both the natural acoustic phenomenon and the electronic effect that simulates it: The vocals need more reverb.
Different reverbs evoke different spaces—a small room, a cathedral, a vast hall.
