Reverb Design
Author: Urban Schlemmer
Abstract
Reverb Design is about creating an aesthetic appealing spacial impression aimed at sweetening the
listening experience for a given context.
However, the ambiguity of auditory and visual
cues in reproduced sound makes it necessary to
create an auditory illusion [6]. To make this illusion work, an aesthetic concept of simplicity and
intelligibility is proposed based on psychoacoustic
facts and recording practice.
A development kit for PD is presented to encour-
age reverb design from a "birds view", with com-
plete reverberation algorithms as basic building
blocks. An example topology completes previous
work [19] [20] by diffuse reflections and late reverberation.
