Reverberation - part 1

Reverberation (reverb for short) is probably one of the most heavily used effects in music. When you mention reverb to a musician, many will immediately think of a stomp box, signal processor, or the reverb knob on their amplifier. But many people don't realize how important reverberation is, and that we actually hear reverb every day, without any special processors.Reverberation is the result of the many reflections of a sound that occur in a room. From any sound source, say a speaker of your stereo, there is a direct path that the sound covers to reach our ears. But that's not the only way the sound can reach us. Sound waves can also take a slightly longer path by reflecting off a wall or the ceiling, before arriving at your ears
