“Oh, the reverb? My room does not have any, and why should I even care?”. This is the topic for this episode with examples of how can reverb destroy your recording. You will learn what a soundwave is and how is it affected by the reverberation generated by your room.

If you are recording your voice or instruments, you might have heard something about reverb and you try to avoid that. However, if you are recording in your bedroom chances are that it has barely any acoustic treatment, and that makes sense since it was not designed to record the sound in the first place. But it shouldn’t make you ignore the fact, that your room has reverb.

When beginners decide to start their own home studio, they are mostly focused on the gear and software that they should you to post-process their recording but they rarely think about the fact that the only thing that matters is the quality of the original recording. Of course, you won’t make a $50 microphone sound like a $500 microphone, but you can EASILY make $500 mic to sound like $50 mic with bad room treatment. The reverb can be truly destructive, and if you want to understand why and how – you are welcome to listen to this episode.
