Editing reverb to create groove
Note length is important in reverb too
We edit depth and space with reverb,
and by cutting this reverb short, we can create tension and unexpectedness in the listeners mind.
When using lots of loops in a song,
adding this technique once every 4 rotation creates an interesting effect.
In addition, it works well when you have a break in a song and you want the volume to be completely muted.
Its easy to do.
Bounce the track with the reverb included.
The key point is to turn the reverb into an audio file.
Cut the bounced reverb file.
You can do this following the songs groove or drum sequence.
When listening to it alone it may sound strange,
but when played with other tracks it will create an interesting effect.
With a long reverb setting, the cut will sound more dramatic, and greater a stronger effect.
The feel will change greatly depending on the length of the cut, so try it out and see what you like!
